Phillip Hughes' older brother Jason hit 63 on Saturday in his first Sydney grade cricket match since the death of the Australia batsman.
Phillip Hughes was batting on 63 when he was hit by a short-pitched delivery during a Sheffield Shield match on 25 November.
The South Australia batsman died from his injuries two days later.
The elder Hughes scored 63 for Mosman against Sydney, and was unaware of his score when his innings ended.
The figure of 63 was used in many tributes to Phillip Hughes following his death, including a 63-second applause at the start of the first Test between India and Australia in Adelaide this week.
Sean Abbott recorded his best ever bowling performance in his first match following the death of Phillip Hughes.
The New South Wales player, 22, took six wickets for just 14 runs as his state team beat Queensland.
NSW coach Trevor Bayliss praised Abbott's "character" and said the team were "over the moon" for the player.
The match took place at Sydney Cricket Ground, the venue where Abbott bowled the ball that led to the death of Hughes, 25, last month.
Abbott, who has played three ODIs and one T20 for Australia, was on a hat-trick at one point and finished with 8-67 in the match.
He received a standing ovation as he left the pitch.
