00:00November 2014, the cricketing world was shaken by a tragedy that still echoes today.
00:06Philip Hughes, a prodigy from Maxville, Australia, was more than a cricketer.
00:11He was a son, a brother, a friend and a symbol of youth and promise.
00:15This is his story.
00:18Philip Joel Hughes was born on November 30th, 1988, in Maxville, a small town between Sydney and Brisbane.
00:25A country boy with a big dream, he honed his unorthodox batting style on local pitches.
00:31By 17, he was collecting match balls, each marked with centuries, 68 or 70, his father estimated, before leaving home for greatness.
00:41Philip was a loving, humorous and infectious person to be around.
00:45He played cricket for all the right reasons and never forgot his roots.
00:48At just 20, Philip burst onto the international stage, becoming the youngest cricketer to score centuries in both innings of a test match against South Africa in 2009.
00:59His cavalier style, high backlift and fearless approach drew comparisons to Brian Lara.
01:05In 2013, he became the first Australian to score a century on ODI debut.
01:10With 26 tests, 25 ODIs and a list A double century, Hughes was destined for a long, fruitful career.
01:19On November 25th, 2014, during a Sheffield Shield match at the SCG,
01:25Philip, batting for South Australia, was on 63 not out, pushing for a test recall.
01:31Facing a bouncer from New South Wales bowler Sean Abbott, he attempted a hook shot.
01:36The ball struck an unprotected area below his left ear, severing his vertebral artery and causing a fatal brain hemorrhage.
01:45Despite emergency surgery at St. Vincent's Hospital, Philip passed away two days later, three days shy of his 26th birthday.
01:53A minuscule misjudgment caused him to miss the ball, which crashed into his neck with fatal consequences.
02:00There was no malicious intent.
02:01The cricketing world stopped. Matches were postponed, and tributes poured in globally.
02:08The Hash Put Out Your Bats campaign saw thousands honour Philip with bats outside their homes.
02:13His funeral in Maxville, attended by dignitaries like Prime Minister Tony Abbott, reflected his universal love.
02:20Sean Abbott, the bowler, was devastated, supported by teammates as he grieved.
02:25Philip's score of 63 not out became a symbol of his unfinished legacy.
02:29Where else would you rather be boys than playing cricket for your country?
02:34Philip's death sparked change.
02:36Cricket Australia mandated helmets for batsmen and introduced concussion substitutes.
02:41Neck guards were developed, though the coroner noted they wouldn't have saved him.
02:46The 2016 inquest ruled his death a tragic accident, with no blame on players or umpires.
02:52In 2024, his family and Cricket Australia released The Boy from Maxville, a documentary celebrating his life, shown before the Australia-India test in Adelaide.
03:03He would have played 120 test matches, there's no doubt about that.
03:08Philip Hughes was the light of his family's lives, a cricketer who played with joy and humility.
03:13Ten years on, his legacy endures in every boundary hit, every helmet worn and every heart touched.
03:20Philip Hughes, forever 63 not out.
