Best quotes from tributes to Phillip Hughes

“I don’t know about you, but I keep looking for him. I know it is crazy but I expect any minute to take a call from him or to see his face pop around the corner. Is this what we call the spirit? If so, then his spirit is still with me. And I hope it never leaves.”

JASON HUGHES (Older brother; in eulogy speech):

“I couldn’t have asked for a better little brother. From a very young age, you were destined to be a rock star. You moved to Sydney at the age of 17 with 70 centuries already to your name, with your home-grown technique.

“All I ever wanted was for you to look up to me as your big brother. I still can’t believe that I’m here saying my final goodbyes.”

SACHIN TENDULKAR (Former India batsman; on Twitter):

MEGAN HUGHES (Younger sister; in eulogy speech): “I promise you Phil that I will continue to live life each and every day, the way you did. From morning to night, your beautiful smile always came out. Even if your life wasn’t going to plan. You never took anything for granted and always knew how lucky and blessed you were from everything that came your way.” JAMES SUTHERLAND (Cricket Australia, CEO; in eulogy speech) “Quite simply, the boy from this proud community of Macksville, personified the spirit of Australian cricket. Ever since Bradman, the image of the innocent country boy playing in the back yard, while dreaming of wearing a baggy green cap, has become entrenched in our psyche. It’s our foundation myth as a cricketing nation. And Phillip loved that dream.” INDIA PRIME MINISTER NARENDRA MODI (on Twitter):
