George Bradley Hogg (born 6 February 1971) is a former Australian
His earlier international career was revitalised by
In a surprise comeback to the Twenty20 (T20) format at the inaugural Big Bash League in 2011, Hogg became a cult hero of the short form, bringing about a call-up to the 2012 and 2014 T20 World Cup Australia sides, as well as international T20 contracts around the world. Hogg is the only player over 40 years of age to take 100 wickets in the T20 format.[5][6]
Hogg released The Wrong'Un, an autobiography with Greg Growden, in November 2016[7] and enjoys a career as a cricket commentator and has become a popular media personality between cricket commitments.
Early life and career
Hogg grew up on a sheep farm in
International career
In 1996, he was selected in the Australian team to tour India as a replacement for Warne who was injured. He made his Test debut against India in Delhi, taking 1/69 and making 1 and 4. He also played seven One Day International matches. However, the belief at the time was that he was merely a place-holder for Warne and he was discarded from the international squad for some time. Hogg was also in and out of the Western Australian squad for the next few years as he struggled for form. Hogg was absent from the international scene until called up to replace Warne during the 2002–03 VB Series (an annual tri-nations one day tournament in Australia) after Warne injured his shoulder. However, Warne then tested positive to a banned diuretic in a pre-World Cup drugs test, leaving Hogg to play as Australia's specialist spinner in Australia's Cup winning side and filled that role until his own retirement, this was due to Warne's retirement from the one day game.
Hogg was recalled to the Australian Test team to tour the West Indies in April 2003, where he played two matches. The gap of 78 games between his Test appearances is the equal-longest such run for an Australian.
During the
Hogg's highest ODI score is 71
On 27 February 2008, Hogg announced his retirement from international cricket, effective after the
His test career (17 wickets at 54.88) was ultimately unremarkable, but his 156 One Day International wickets at 26.84 coupled with useful lower-order batting placed him among Australia's best one-day players.Coaching career
In September 2011, Hogg was appointed coaching director of Cricket PNG and head coach of the Papua New Guinea national cricket team, replacing fellow Australian Andy Bichel.[21] He was due to coach the team at the 2012 ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier, but resigned in January 2012 after being recalled to play for Australia.[22]
Return to playing
On 4 November 2011, Hogg signed with the
On 1 February 2012, Hogg returned to international cricket at the
Hogg has since been selected for the 2014 Australian T20 World Cup team, plus the three games against Pakistan in Dubai in the leadup to that competition.[27]
On 7 February 2014, Hogg was man of the match in the winning Big Bash final with his team the Perth Scorchers. Over the tournament, Hogg had an economy rate of 6.19, the fifth best by a spinner in the tournament.[28] This earned him a recall to the Australian T20I team for the series in South Africa and the 2014 ICC World Twenty20. On 12 March that year he became the oldest player to play in T20I's, at 43 years and 34 days.[29][30]
He was bought by the
On 28 April 2015, he became the oldest player ever to feature in an IPL match when he played against Chennai Super Kings at the age of 44 years and 81 days.
He made headlines again in 2015 when he re-signed for the 2015/16 Perth Scorchers team in the BBL with his unique comedy announcement.[34]
Hogg made the surprising move from the Perth Scorchers to the Melbourne Renegades for BBL06.[35] Approaching BBL08, he was left unsigned and has not featured in any form of cricket since. The Melbourne Renegades ultimately won the title that season.
Playing style
He is one of the few bowlers who bowls left-arm wrist spin in international cricket.
Hogg is well known for his use of his tongue while bowling, poking it out just before he bowls, which was considered his trademark.[40]
