"Like most other Aussies and people in the world, I was just horrified watching on, Cummins said. We had just put the kids to bed and flicked on the news as that was coming through. Me and my wife were watching in disbelief. It's a place that's just around the corner from where we live and we take the kids there all the time. It's hit home pretty hard. We really feel for the Bondi community and the Jewish community in particular."
"Stokes said it was an awful thing to watch unfold. We were sat in our team room and it came up on the news about what was happening. It was silence from everyone in there seeing that happen. It's incredibly sad for Australia, for Sydney and for the world. It does put things into a lot of perspective when you see things like that happen. And for everyone that it's affected, all our hearts go out to everyone. It's a horrible thing to see happen."
Pat Cummins and Ben Stokes described being horrified as live news coverage of the Bondi beach terror attack unfolded near Cummins's home in Bronte. Cummins said he and his wife watched in disbelief after putting their children to bed and that the attack 'hit home pretty hard,' expressing sympathy for the Bondi and Jewish communities. Stokes said the team fell silent watching the footage and called the events 'incredibly sad' for Australia, Sydney and the world. The third Ashes Test in Adelaide will include tributes: black armbands, a moment's silence, and flags flown at half-mast, while Cricket Australia expressed solidarity with victims and families.
