Hobart (Tasmania), Dec. 5 : Young New South Wales opener Phillip Hughes has passed two of Donald Bradman’s records despite his side''s Sheffield Shield loss to Tasmania at Bellerive Oval this week.

Twenty-year-old Hughes set the Shield record for the greatest two-innings contribution to a team''s game total, edging past Bradman. In doing that, he also scored his first
1,000 domestic first-class runs at a younger age than The Don.

The pint-sized left-hander, aged 20 years and four days, has now scored 1,200 runs at an average of 52.17 since his November 2007 debut for the Blues.
