Footage: ‘Rest in peace, my little brother’
Australia captain Michael Clarke was on Wednesday tasked with standing in front of the cricket world and delivering a eulogy for Phillip Hughes, his best friend who passed away last week, and the skipper delivered an emotional tribute.
Clarke, a stalwart for the Hughes family, by all accounts, since Hughes was hit by a bouncer on 25 November, spoke of Hughes' friendship, the world's supportive reaction, and about having to play in honour of Hughes.
Here is Pup's moving tribute to his 'little brother'.
