Phillip Hughes documentary, The Boy from Macksville, highlights his life, personality and love of cricket

ABC  

Phillip Hughes was born in the wrong era. When Hughes made his Test debut at just 20 years old in February 2009, Australia's men's Test team was in flux and floundering. "I was actually in the house with him when he got the call," Hughes's brother, Jason, says in the documentary The Boy From Macksville, which aired on Seven and Fox on Friday night. "Selectors at that time were horrible, let's be clear on that," Usman Khawaja said of the decision to drop Hughes two Tests into the 2009 Ashes series. Phillip Hughes's last big knock for Australia came in the Ashes Test at Trent Bridge in 2013.
