Phillip's all family members, friends, administrators, Australia's prime minister Tony Abbott, team mates, present and past Australian cricketers, few Indian team members including acting captain Virat Kohli were present in funeral of Phillip Huges.
The funeral service was broadcast live on Australian television and radio, and was also shown at the SCG, Adelaide Oval, WACA and Bellerive Oval, where mourners were invited to gather for a public viewing of the Macksville service.
Phillip Hughes died aged 25 after being struck by a bouncer last Tuesday during the Sheffield Shield match between New South Wales and South Australia at the SCG.
At the Macksville High School hall, Clarke and Hughes' father Greg and brother Jason, and cricketers Aaron Finch and Tom Cooper, carried his coffin to the hearse outside, and a remarkable procession wound through the streets of the small town Macksville.
We salute the promising player of Australia for his contribution of Cricket in past years. Phillip became history now but, his sprit for cricket will remembered forever.
