Ashes 2019: Archer blow reminded Steve Smith of Phillip Hughes tragedy

By Saurabh Sharma August 28, 2019 • 15:21 PM View: 1780

Leeds, Aug 28: Former Australia skipper Steve Smith has revealed that the first thought which came to his mind after he was hit on the neck by a ferocious bouncer from Jofra Archer was the death of his teammate Phillip Hughes.

"I had a few things running through my head, particularly where I got hit, just a bit of past came up -- if you know what I mean -- from a few years ago," news.com.au quoted Smith as saying as he referred to the day Hughes was struck and died in a Sheffield Shield match between New South Wales and South Australia in 2014.
