On the anniversary of Phillip Hughes’ tragic death, the Australian cricket team is in Adelaide for the third Test against New Zealand – and captain Steve Smith says their departed mate is in their thoughts.
“Obviously it was a pretty difficult time for us all coming here last year just after the horrible incident happened,” said Smith.

“A year on we still have ‘Hughesy’ at the back of our minds, every time we walk out onto the field,” said Smith, “and that is no different a year on out here this week.”
“We’re going to be doing our best to play with a smile on our face and hopefully play well for ‘Hughesy’.
“Obviously it’s a tough time for his family and his friends and we respect that… hopefully we can have a good week for Phillip.”
