Renowned batting coach and Wests first grader of the 1990s, Neil D’Costa (Wests #545), brought Phillip Hughes to Sydney for the last match of the 2005-2006 season, to see if the 17 year old from Macksville on the far north coast of NSW could adjust to city life.

Hughes arrived to play the last game of the 2005-06 season in Seconds, versus St. George at Pratten Park, instantly indicating that he could adjust to cricket in the ‘big smoke’, in the process impressing with his distinctive attacking flair and a score of 141 not out.
