Man charged as Hookes fights for life




Victorian cricket coach and former Australian Test player David Hookes remains in a coma in a Melbourne hospital after being attacked outside a St Kilda hotel on Sunday night.

A 21-year-old hotel security guard has been charged over the attack as Hookes' family keep a vigil by his bedside and the cricket world expresses its shock and disbelief.

Hookes was celebrating Victoria's one-day win over South Australia at St Kilda's Beaconsfield Hotel when a fight broke out outside just before midnight AEDT.

It is believed that the 48-year-old became involved in the brawl, sustained a blow to the head, and went into cardiac arrest.

Paramedics performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on the unconscious Hookes for about 30 minutes before rushing him to the Alfred Hospital.

Hookes has been moved to the intensive care unit, where he remains on life support, with his wife Robyn and two children maintaining a bed-side vigil.

This morning Zdravco Micevic from St Albans, a security guard at the Beaconsfield Hotel, was charged with one count of assault.

Micevic was released on bail and will reappear in court in April.

As a part of his bail conditions, Micevic is not allowed to continue his work as a crowd controller and must not attend any licensed premises.

Ponting's best wishes
Australian captain Ricky Ponting said his players heard of the incident as they travelled to Brisbane airport this morning after last night's loss to India at the Gabba.

"Terribly sad news of what's happened last night," he said.

"Sitting with the guys on the bus on the way to the airport this morning, everyone was in a state of shock and no one could believe what had happened. So it's hit everyone pretty hard, yeah.

"I guess all you can do as a team is say that our hearts go out to David and his famuily ands his friends, everyone involved with Cricket Victoria and South Australian cricket, and just let them know that we're thinking of them and our best wishes go out to them."

Hookes' former Test team-mate Greg Chappell said he heard the news from South Australian captain Darren Lehmann, who witnessed the attack and spent the night at the hospital.

"Darren was just shattered because he'd been at the hospital with David and his family all through the night ... he just said the whole thing was so senseless," Chappell said.

But Hookes' long-time friend Graham Corns is convinced he will pull through.

"I just have no doubt," he said. "He has a toughness and a will to win and a fight that will prevail, I just don't want to believe anything else."

Shocked and distraught
Chief Executive of the Victorian Cricket Association Ken Jacobs says all those close to Hookes are struggling to comprehend the news.

"They're just shocked and there's some very distraught people there," he said.

"David's had a very close relationship with the group of young men and has helped to steer them not only on the field but off the field as well and helped them grow and develop as young men."

Paramedic Marcus Stacey says applying CPR to such a well-known personality was daunting.

"When it became apparent who the patient was, having that person as a childhood hero, it does make it a little bit challenging." he said.

Detective Senior Sergeant Terry Cain said Hookes was in need of urgent medical assistance when police arrived.

"When they [police] arrived they found an unconscious man on the ground and they administered CPR [cardiopulmonary resuscitation] to that person and were later assisted by the ambulance in doing so," he said.

"At this stage we have one person assisting us with enquiries and we're looking for any witnesses that may have seen anything."

Former Australian Test cricketer Dean Jones says his thoughts are with Hookes' family.

"He's in a critical situation so thoughts are with his family and his team-mates of course. I just hope he gets through this tough time. It's been a huge shock to everyone what's happened," Jones said.

"Knowing him he's been though hell and back, he's been hit in the head by the fastest bowlers that have ever graced this planet and he got through it," he said.

"He broke his jaw in Sydney through the World Series, he's had some tough times as a cricketer and he knows how to get through them, so hopefully he will."

Former Australian cricket captain Ian Chappell told Channel 9 fighting was out of character for Hookes. "Like most cricketers David's not a fighter," he said.

"He was always prepared to speak his opinion and we might have got an animated discussion out of him but certainly not fighting. It sounds like a classic case of wrong place at the wrong time."

Police are appealing for witnesses to call Crime Stoppers.
