For many cricket fans, the notion would have occurred to them at some point during the past year.
Phillip Hughes, the Australian prodigy who died after being hit in the neck by a ball while batting in the Sheffield Shield in 2014 while attempting to score a run to return to the Test team, has been remembered in late November for the past nine years. Ten years have passed since that loss this year.
There are milestones everywhere in mourning. Things that catch us off guard, like low furniture, are marked in space. This is me recalling the last time you passed by the garden next to my former home.
