England Test captain Nasser Hussain and former captain Alec Stewart were among hundreds of mourners at the funeral of Australian-born England Test and one-day international cricketer Ben Hollioake today.
Hussain represented the England team, currently on tour in New Zealand, at the service at Our Lady of Mt Carmel Catholic church in the port city of Fremantle.
Hollioake, 24, was killed when his Porsche hit a brick retaining wall after leaving a Perth freeway early Saturday morning.
His 23-year-old girlfriend Janaya Scholten, who was in the same car, remains in a critical condition in Royal Perth Hospital with severe head and chest injuries.
The couple were returning from a family celebration in Perth when Hollioake apparently lost control of the car on a tight bend.
The England team will gather privately at their Auckland hotel at the same time as Hollioake's cremation.
