Tributes for Australian test cricketer Phillip Hughes, who died Thursday after being felled by a short pitched delivery earlier in the week, flowed on Friday - including a
display of placing cricket bats outside homes and cricket grounds.
Sending photos of the bats in tribute grew quickly after a Twitter account #putoutyourbats was opened by Sydney cricket fan Paul Taylor with a photo of his cricket bat leaning against his front door.
The simple social media tribute has grown to hundreds of photos taken in Australia and around the cricket-playing world of bats leaning on doors and gates, many of them with caps from local teams on the handle.
The New Zealand and Pakistan cricket teams placed their bats and caps in two rows against the advertising boards this morning - and then observed a moments silence ahead of the start of play on what is essentially day two of the third and final Test in Sharjah.
Play was abandoned yesterday when news broke that 25 year-old Hughes had died from his injuries in a Sydney hospital.
