Hughes, who played 26 Tests and 25 ODIs for Australia, grew up on a banana farm in Macksville, NSW, developing his own unique technique that helped him score tonnes of runs through the off-side and down the ground but left him suspect against the rising delivery – a weakness that would cost him his life.Hughes made his Test debut in 2009 against South Africa, making a duck and a match-winning 75 at the Wanderers. In the next game of that series, the left-hander would create history. Aged 20 years and 98 day, Hughes scored 115 and 160 in that game, becoming the youngest Test cricketer to score twin hundreds in a game. Questions about the response time of ambulances dispatched to the stadium were also raised. The head of New South Wales Ambulance was to be hauled before the state health minister Jillian Skinner on Thursday after the ambulance authority issued conflicting statements about their response times. The arrival of the first ambulance took 15 minutes, NSW Ambulance clarified in a statement on Wednesday.
