Young cricketers affected by death of Phillip Hughes
Young cricketers tell us how they've been affected by the death of Phillip Hughes with some of them saying they now fear the short ball.
Speaking to 5 live Breakfast's Phil Mercer, an amateur cricket coach describes the effect the tragic death has had on his young players; "I've got a couple of young guys who are learning to bowl short as a tactic - they've come to me saying they don't want to bowl like that today."
He adds that one young batsman has come off the pitch in tears when he was faced with the bouncer.
However, some young cricketers have said the news of his death has made them more determined, saying: "I woke up this morning and thought - I'm going to win this game today for Phil".
