Facing the likes of Malinga and ‘mystery spinner’ Ajantha Mendis in your first ever international game is enough to give anyone nightmares. Phillip Hughes didn’t think so.
The diminutive left-hander toyed with the Sri Lankan bowling, showing no sign of nervousness or fear, as he progressed to his maiden ODI century with 14 well-struck boundaries. With skipper George Bailey and the ice-cool David Hussey also joining the fun, Hughes’ three-figure knock enabled Australia to reach 305, and they skittled out the Lankans for 198 without a fuss.
Incidentally, Hughes broke fellow left-hander Phil Jaques’ record for the highest individual score on debut by an Australia – both batsmen hit the same number of boundaries.
Later in the year, he traveled to England for the Ashes, and after a lacklustre performance, he was dropped, despite a valiant 81 in the first Test.
