Sean Abbott Controversy
During a Sheffield Shield match on 25 November 2014, Abbott bowled a bouncer that hit Phillip Hughes on the neck.

Many of the condolence messages included support for Abbott. He returned to training the day before Hughes’ funeral, and returned to play against Queensland in a Sheffield Shield match starting on 8 December 2014, returning a match-winning 6/14 in Queensland’s second innings.
