00:00We feel Philip all around us. Every paddock and every inch of this farm he has been around
00:11and this place was paradise to him.
00:15There was always these whispers of this young kid who was scoring hundreds for fun. It was
00:21almost like a myth almost. It was exciting.
00:25I'd seen footage, I'd seen highlights and he's the one that we had heard the most about.
00:34He was like a dancer, he was like a boxer. His feet were lightning fast.
00:39The footwork.
00:40Yeah, just slap it through there bro. Off-middle stuff, he'd be playing and all that.
00:46Oh now hammer through cover. This is a display.
00:49Marvellous achievement by Philip Hughes.
00:52I genuinely couldn't believe that he backed it up. He did that one pretty easy. This guy's
00:57unstoppable.
00:58He was a hundred maker. I think that's the best way to describe him. He made hundreds
01:01at every level that he played.
01:05I wasn't going to be available for the first test match and Hughes was going to be the
01:12one to come in for me.
01:13You've got this play, how you always have, have some fun. Yeah, that was the last back
01:20and forth that we had, yeah.
01:22As much as anything, he was a ribbon bloke.
01:26The most family-orientated person I think I've ever met.
01:30Philip, do you realise it's 5am here in Maxwell? Oh, I just need to hear your voice, Mum.
01:36He could associate and start talking with anybody, you know what I mean? Yeah, that
01:42touches me a bit, that.
01:44He captured the attention on so many occasions, but it was act one.
01:49Well, I like getting back and seeing the family, getting back to Maxwell where I'm from,
01:54with me Mum and Dad and me farm back home.
