The ACT Comets crumbled in their second innings for an outright loss to Tasmania as players from both sides remembered Phillip Hughes. <\/p>\n
The Comets were rolled for 151 in just 52.3 overs on Thursday to deliver Tasmania a 217-run victory in the Futures League match at Manuka Oval. <\/p>\n
Tasmania's left-arm orthodox spinner Clive Rose claimed 6-61 in the innings and match figures of 10-128 in a disappointing batting display from the home side. <\/p>\n
Comets captain David Dawson was the mainstay of the first innings on Wednesday, scoring 111 in a total of 7-256 (dec). <\/p>\n

Having played alongside Hughes with NSW, Dawson dedicated his century to him, making it on the same day as the Hughes funeral. <\/p>\n
\"It was a really tough day and cricket pales into insignificance with the tragic events that we've had,\" Dawson said. <\/p>\n
\"In some small way it was something I could do to try to honour Phil in a sense. <\/p>\n
\"Cricket takes a back seat in the big scheme of things.It was a sad day for everyone but especially the cricket family.\" <\/p>\n
