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.
