'A great player and a great bloke'published at 08:47 Greenwich Mean Time 27 November 2014
Former Australia all-rounder Tom Moody has told Sky Sports News Hughes was a "wonderful player" with his best years ahead of him:
"He showed us glimpses of what he was capable of doing in a couple of hundreds he scored for Australia, particularly against South Africa in Durban in 2011 he scored back to back hundreds. He was a special talent and a special bloke.
"You don't score 26 first class hundreds and three test hundreds in such a short career. His best was ahead of him and he had conquered so much already."
