AUSTRALIAN captain Michael Clarke will dig deep again — this time in front of 5000 mourners at Macksville High School — to deliver a tribute to fallen teammate Phillip Hughes.
Clarke spoke on behalf of Hughes's parents, Greg and Virginia, at the hospital after the Test batsman passed away, and again on the weekend in an emotional statement.
The funeral will be broadcast around the nation and to the small northern New South Wales town of Macksville, which has been invited en masse.
Phillip Hughes' hometown of Macksville is in mourning as they prepare to farewell the legendary cricketer at a public funeral on Wednesday.
More than 400 cricket people including all Australian contracted players will feature among the 1,000-strong congregation inside the school hall and the estimated 4,000 more that will pack an adjacent oval and soccer field to watch on big screens.
As the nation is expected to stop when Hughes is finally laid to rest, his manager James Henderson said it would be a sad day for the town of Macksville and broader community.
"But it will be a wonderful celebration of a young man who has achieved so much in his 26 years of life," Henderson said, speaking on behalf of Hughes' family at a media conference.
"He was a no fuss guy who will be looking down on all of this and wondering what the hell is going on.
"He made an unbelievable impression on the country."
