and it doesnt say in this article but david hookes is now dead. Monday January 19, 05:45 PM 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. |
Are you sure he is dead?The news says he is still ina critical condition.
What I cant comprehend is why his 14 teammates didn't jump in and stop him getting fucked over. |

Hookes went straight down and smashed his head on the footpath. The damage was done in an instant. The ABC is now reporting that Hookes is dead http://www.abc.net.au/news/ |
I'm going to miss him on inside cricket on Thursday nights. A.B. and him used to bounce off each other brilliantly.
|
The dickhead bouncer turned up to court without any shoes on, and he is an 'amateur boxer'. I think that says it all!
|
Seems that most of the security guys that get in the shit are the young guys 21 / 22 yrs. Same age as this guy.
It's too young IMO to be a security controller - and I operated clubs for over 10 yrs. Best guys are the older boys that have been around for a while and are able to keep a cool head... This guy will pay alright. |
I read on the Age website that the bouncers followed them 60 metres from the club before the fight started.
hahahahas |
to bad for him eh. david hookes and his family will pay to.
bouncers are bouncers coz theyre to fucking dumb to be pigs. |
I watched cricket from 1975 till today
David Hooke Hookes was one great batsman with ability. We could be Proud to call Him Australian. He holds the record for the fastest ever 100 something like 36 balls. Dont know the full story just yet thou the force seems a little excesive. I kinda dont feel bad about the last time I punched out a bouncer. R.I.P David Hookes |
