David Hookes dead after pub melee
"Former Australian Test cricketer David Hookes has died in hospital from head injuries suffered when he was bashed in a scuffle outside a Melbourne hotel on Sunday night."
What Tha! 
Sad news for Australian sport!!
fuckin hell...i got chills down my spine when i saw it 
absolute tragedy. Hopefully bouncer laws and shit are reviewed so stuff like this doesnt happen again.
R.I.P David Hookes
You had a lot to say, but you got my respect mate.

Fuckin psyco mofo bouncer I hope he gets put away for a long time.
Sad news....
very sad 
I heard on the grapevine that the bouncer who was charged with the assault was also allegedly on a similar charge pending from another hotel where he works/ed
Apparently they (Hooks and a some other victorian/SA cricketers) had walked away, they were three streets away from the bar, but the bouncers followed them and bashed them for the heck of it.
Fucking disgraceful.

Completely and utterly senseless. Hopefully justice will be served.
Very sad news, from what I have heard from the news he was only hit once but badly hit his head on the ground when he fell.
They should press charges against the establishment too if they hired him and he already had a pending charge also on him.
That should hopefully set precedent so that nightclub/pubs/etc hire reponsible crowd controllers not just thugs with big egos on a powertrip who would not be employable anywhere else.
I hope this leads to an inquest into the whole entertainment security industry... I very much doubt David is the first person to be seriously injured or killed by a bouncer.

so so sad
what a legend.
yeah most bouncers suck the dick. ive been in a few disagreements with them before, over basically asking a question. then they bashed the fuck outta me. sad ****s on a power trip, thats all they are.
very sad news !
I always admired David Hookes, he said what he had to say and didn't take a backward step.

R.I.P. Hooksey
murder is an unlikely option because of the issue of premeditation -hence, manslaughter (at the most) 7-10yrs (maybe)
other ppl above mentioned the word 'precedent' - it will be very interesting how all of this is handled
Knowing the Justice System the fag bouncer will get off lightly.
Ur all dreaming, i have complete and utter faith in the aussie legal system, he will get a minimum sentence of 18 months
Think about it, a chick ran over a guy whil sms on her phone, guy died she got off with a suspended sentence...
Because the man who is deceased is famous doesnt mean he should get any special treatment. Sad to say really.
Very sad news.......
of course its sad that it happens to anyone but im more pissed off at the fact that this guy felt like he had to go outside with his mates after the dude left, smack him on the head from behind and leave him to die! fucking coward

Yee there's no way he'll get murder as there is no way of proving he had the intent on killing him, fucked up shit 
sad news, particularly upset my dad who met him in person before, but yet again like in the UK, justice doesn't help those who deserve it
