ADELAIDE (AP) - From the flowers that lined the Southern Plaza of Adelaide Oval to the "408" painted on the grass, Phillip Hughes was remembered and revered Tuesday by the cricketing world in a way befitting the mark he left in his short time in the sport.
Hughes, who died Nov. 27 two days after being hit by a short-pitched delivery in a domestic match, was honored in a short video tribute by former Australia captain and commentator Richie Benaud before the start of the first Australia-India test.
Australia players also wore No. 408 Hughes test cap number on their shirts, and there was 63 seconds of applause in his honor. Hughes, 25, had scored 63 runs when he was fatally injured at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
