You don't think the sheer starkness of the memory of saying 'I'm going to kill you' - and then later that day a fellow bowler doing essentially that - wouldn't somehow outlast that shock, horror, and numbness?
As I said: "for some of these blokes".
Everyone is going to react a different way. When an explosion happens, some run away from the blast. Some run towards it. Some amble around, incoherent. They'll all remember what happened differently.
People at the ground were close friends with Hughes, or team mates, or largely bystanders. Everyone is going to have a different version of the story. Nobody has the truth, beyond the fact that a young man, in the prime of his life, is dead.
How dragging it through the media is of benefit, I'm yet to figure out.

@NTA Take it easy feller, no-one is bagging your boys here. Yeah some sections of the media are trying to angle the whole cover up agenda but that's the media and only to be expected sadly.
Reportedly the family feel that what was said to them nearer the time has now become "I can't recall" and they feel this is painting them as liars. However, as you say it was two years ago and people will remember things differently, maybe the family are also in this position.
The inquest I'd assume is just normal procedure in Aus for such a tragic death, certainly not something that a private citizen (ie member of the family) could insist upon? What relevance any sledging or not has to do with the circumstances I don't know and it does seem that some of the legal people want to whip things up a bit. A sad state of affairs really.

I'm not upset - just explaining myself better
I'll allow that you're half-right

The Michael Clarke puff piece masquerading as an interview on 60 Mins is sickening
-
I see Clarke is becoming part of the Channel Nine commentary team. Most Aussie players that I've disliked over the years I've eventually warmed to as they've started to wind down their careers, but I'm afraid Clarke is an odd man out - he just comes across as a Willis.

So Watson isn't a cancer but he's a tumour that could grow into a cancer?
I think he meant to say he's a Malignant tumour, not benign.
Pup could at least get his medical jargon correct if he's going to slam a fellow ex player.watson always struck me as a relatively innocuous lump.
-
Channel Nein is under some serious fire for appointing "blokey" old boys Test players into the box, who spend most of their time wanking on about the good old days.
Clarke did a couple of guest spots last summer, and he was one of the few in there trying to steer talk onto the game at hand, rather than what happened in the distant past.

He certainly made getting out LBW popular again.....

Don't like Clarke, but reckon he'll be a really good commentator.
Seems 9 have listened to the backlash from last Summer. Clarke and KP are smart hires, and ditching Brett Lee is great too.
Have they got rid of Mark Nicholls too ? ( he asked excitedly )

I didn't realize Shane and I batted alike.

At least you're not horrifically overrated like he was.

Not sure.
But they need to get this guy involved.

Loosest Aussie bloke ever can be hit or miss but even my mate who fucken hates cricket thought this was hilarious.

@MN5 It's just fucking out alright, look at that, that's fucking plum. Gold.
