China Jerseys Cheap .Y. - New York City has been selected to host the NBA All-Star weekend in 2015, with the game played at Madison Square Garden and the slam dunk contest and other skills events held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.Sledging directed at Phillip Hughes and his batting partner Tom Cooper in no way exacerbated the incident in which Hughes was fatally injured, the inquest into the batsmans death has been told.The conclusion by Kristina Stern SC, the counsel assisting the New South Wales Coroner at the inquest, was made after the submission of a new statement by Matthew Day, the former Tasmania batsman and a Sydney club teammate of Hughes brother Jason Hughes at Mosman. Day, 29, was also a pallbearer at Hughes funeral in Macksville.Days statement corroborated allegations that the fast bowler Doug Bollinger had directed the words Im going to kill you at Hughes and Cooper, highlighting divisions between the Hughes family and the cricket community.Bollinger and Cooper had both denied these words were uttered, moving Day to make the statement on Tuesday. In it he described events at a wake for Hughes, which occurred at the SCG on November 28, the evening after he died at St Vincents Hospital.Whilst I was at the gathering at the Sydney Cricket Ground, I was with a group of players sitting where the players seats are in the home dressing room, Day said in the statement, dated October 11, 2016. There were six or seven players in the group. I cant remember all of the players but Doug Bollinger was one of the group. There was general discussion regarding the circumstances of the match.At one stage Doug Bollinger said words to the effect of: One of my sledges was I am going to kill you. I cant believe I said that. Ive said things like that in the past but I am never going to say it again.Day went on to say that when he saw Jason Hughes later in the evening he relayed this words, to which he replied that Tom Cooper told me the same thing.The submission of Days statement caused a flurry of activity in the courtroom on Wednesday, before Stern offered the following words in mitigation. One of the issues identified in my opening statement was the nature of the play that afternoon and if that in any way exacerbated the injury to Phillip Hughes, she said. My submission is ... that there is no evidence thatt any comment or sledging or whatever description you wish to use, exacerbated the injury.ddddddddddddDays statement also conflicted accounts offered by the NSW captain on the day Brad Haddin, David Warner, Sean Abbott and Doug Bollinger that there were no specific plans to bowl short at Hughes. In it he alleged that Trent Johnston, then the NSW assistant coach and now the states head coach, had offered a different view.I shared a taxi with Trent Johnston [who] said words to the effect of I am struggling with the fact that I was a big part of the plan that New South Wales adopted, that was to bowl short to Phil, and that eventually ended with him being struck.In response to the new allegations, Cricket Australia outlined the process by which witness statements and testimony had been taken.Counsel assisting the Coroner, Kristina Stern SC, in association with legal representatives retained by Cricket Australia interviewed player and umpire witnesses appearing at the coronial enquiry, a spokesperson said.Each person was interviewed in this process independently. These interviews were held at the request of counsel assisting in which each of the players and umpires voluntarily participated. Statements were then drafted recording these interviews and these draft statements were reviewed by both crickets legal representatives and counsel assisting.Following this review, players were then sent the resulting draft statements and were asked to check the accuracy of the draft and make any amendments or additions they wished to have included before returning them.As witnesses who have appeared at the coronial hearing have testified, these statements were finalised without talking to any other witness. We are comfortable that this process has allowed the players and umpires to provide accurate, independent and truthful evidence to the enquiry.It has been agreed that Day will not be cross-examined following his statement. The inquest continues until Friday. ' ' '
