There are some heavy heads in Macksville this weekend after Phillip Hughes’ century in the second Test in South Africa. The people from the small town in New South Wales, including Hughes’ parents, celebrated the exploits of their local boy, according to the Sunday Telegraph.
"We are very proud,'' his dad Greg Hughes said. "Just ecstatic. We just watched it at home on the TV. It was pretty exciting for him to get a hundred in his second Test.”
