Hughes, 25, who played 26 Tests, died from bleeding on the brain on November 27 last year after being hit on the base of the skull by a rising ball at the Sydney Cricket Ground during a domestic match.
His death &mdash; a freak accident &mdash; stunned Australia and the world cricket community, sparking an outpouring of grief. At the request of Hughes&rsquo; family, the tributes one year on were kept simple.
Australia and New Zealand players at Adelaide Oval wore black armbands as did Sheffield Shield cricketers. A ceremony was held in Adelaide at 4.08 pm local time during the first break of play &mdash; Hughes was the 408th Australian Test cricketer.
The tribute was shown on the big video screen next to Adelaide Oval&rsquo;s historic manual scoreboard which also bore a reminder of Hughes: a simple sign 'Remembering 408'.
