Dale Steyn maintains Phil Hughes tragedy won't deter him from bowling aggressively

South Africa pace express Dale Steyn has said that Australia cricketer Phillip Hughes' passing would not change his aggressive approach to bowling.

Steyn said that the short-pitched delivery, which struck Hughes on the neck, resulting in the batsman's passing, was 'out of the ordinary'. Hughes lost consciousness and died in a Sydney hospital two days later, aged 25, after being struck by a bouncer. 

The South African, the number one-ranked fast bowler in Test cricket, said that he 'really feels' for Hughes and his family, adding that it's a 'terrible accident', but admitted that cricket would continue, Sport24 reported. The South African said that he is 'still going to bowl a bouncer', 'run hard and try and take ones head off', but not 'kill anybody'. He added that 'nobody ever wants to see anyone die in a match'.

South Africa have been preparing to take on the West Indies in a three-Test series starting on Wednesday, the report added.
