The Australian back pages cover Phil Hughes’ passing with perfect reverence

The Daily Telegraph in Australia has summed it all up.

It's been rightly impossible to read the sports pages today without finding a touching image of Phil Hughes or glowing praise of the batsman as both a player and a person. But the fact that the Australian Telegraph has retired its back page for Friday's publication is perhaps the most fitting tribute of all.   Brisbane's Courier Mail also does a fine job with their cover

The Age too give over their entire back page to the tragedy
