Damien Martyn is awake and talking, with the Australian cricket great's family considering his ongoing recovery from meningitis a "miracle".
One week after being placed into an induced come in a Gold Coast hospital, Martyn is now hopeful of moving out of intensive care.
The 54-year-old has been able to talk with friends and family, including ex-teammate Adam Gilchrist, and is said to be overwhelmed with the support offered.
"It's been an unbelievable turn of events in the last 48 hours," Gilchrist said in a statement.
"He is now able to talk and respond to treatment.
"He has responded extraordinarily well since coming out of the coma to the point where his family feels it's like some sort of miracle.
"It has been so positive that they're hopeful he will be able to move out of the ICU into another part of the hospital which is representative of what a great recovery it's been and how quickly it has flipped around."
