The bouncer and an eulogy
In cricketing parlance a fateful delivery meant the ball that gets the bowler a wicket or the one which is dispatched for winning runs. Now any more. The ball bowled by Sean Abbott to Phil Hughes last week that plunged the sporting world in sorrow was fateful and like how.
And ever since he passed away as an impact of that ball hitting him beneath his ear - cricket fiends have been writing eulogies for Hughes on the social media. There are a few that stand out and the one that brought the most tears was the by the Australian Captain, Micheal Clarke. His emotional eulogy - a small speech he gave to the media persons present at the hospital was truly moving.
Eulogy is our word of the week. It refers to a formal note written or a short talk given in praise of a person recently deceased.
