Unlike baseball, in cricket it is perfectly normal for a bowler to aim to hit a batsman's body or his head. A bouncer (a ball that goes over the batsman's shoulder but is below the top of his head) is a ball that is bowled with the aim of trying to scare the batsman a bit and also is part of the normal variation that bowler has at his disposal. A bowler is allowed to bowl two bouncers every 6 balls.

Thousands, if not millions of bouncers have been bowled in cricket for over 140 years now and many batsmen have been hit on the head and face and have walked away with cracked skulls and broken noses and jaws. Nobody (at least no as high profile as Hughes) has died on a cricket pitch after getting hit while batting. Just think of what the bowler Sean Abbot is going through at this moment. He will live the rest of his life wondering what if he hadn't bowled a bouncer or if he had bowled it a little shorter or little wider....Hughes would have probably harmlessly let the ball go to the wicket keeper (catcher). He just killed a man and he has to live with it forever.
