Sean Abbott has returned to play for New South Wales against Queensland less than two weeks after bowling the fatal bouncer that struck and killed batsman Phillip Hughes.
And perhaps to shake out the cobwebs and move on from one of the most traumatic moments in cricket history, Abbott bowled a bouncer in just his fifth ball of his first over.
Cricket fans immediately congratulated the 22-year-old for his courage.
Sean Abbott bowling at the SCG. The fifth ball of the his first over is a bouncer. Good to see the young kid back doing what he loves.
Sean Abbott just bowled his first over since the death of Phillip Hughes. 5th ball was a bouncer. His mate will be grinning somewhere.
Phillip Hughes named 13th man in Adelaide, Sean Abbott back and bowls a bouncer fifth ball at the SCG. It's a good day for cricket. #AUSvIND
Great to see Sean Abbott has bowled a few overs for NSW today. Even got a bouncer in. Must have been so difficult for him. Fair play to him
The young bowler who can get on with playing cricket.
