Sydney: Destroyed after his bouncer hit Phil Hughes to end the left-hander’s life, Sean Abbott has bounced back recording the figures of 14/6 at Sydney Cricket Ground on Friday.
Playing for New South Wales in a Sheffield Shield game, the tall fast bowler ran through Queensland batting line up to lead his team to a big victory in a four-day match.

Even Hughes' family has been of a great help and made it clear that it was not Abbott's mistake which led to sad demise of Hughes.
