Nino Rammuno: "Phillip's journey into cricket was one of great persuasion from his brother, Jason. Jason first introduced him in a club game where, had Phillip not played, the game would've been called off. On debut, as a tail-ender, Phillip made 25 runs and so his love of the game begun."
Nino Rammuno: "Phillip spent a lot of his early life with both sets of grandparents. He would regularly partake in fishing and trying to catch a legendary 'monster' fish, which to this day has never been caught."
