'''George Bradley Hogg''' (born 6 February 1971) is a former Australian [[cricket]]er who played all formats of the game. He was a left-arm [[Left-arm unorthodox spin|wrist spin]] [[Bowler (cricket)|bowler]], and a lower-order left-handed [[batsman]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/player/brad-hogg-5681|title=Brad Hogg profile and biography, stats, records, averages, photos and videos|work=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=17 November 2021}}</ref><br />
<br />
His earlier international career was revitalised by [[Shane Warne]]'s absence from [[cricket]] in 2003 due to [[suspension (punishment)|suspension]] from a drugs test and subsequent retirement from [[one-day cricket]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/cricket/warne-exit-gives-postman-hogg-his-redletter-day-118862.html|author=Stephen Brenkley|date=2003-02-13|title=Warne exit gives postman Hogg his red-letter day|access-date=11 April 2024 | location=London | work=The Independent}}</ref> He is Australia's eleventh most successful [[One Day International]] bowler and third most successful spinner in terms of wickets taken.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://stats.cricinfo.com/australia/engine/records/bowling/most_wickets_career.html?class=2;id=2;type=team|title=Most Wickets in a Career - Australian ODIs|publisher=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=2008-02-28|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080306084330/http://stats.cricinfo.com/australia/engine/records/bowling/most_wickets_career.html?class=2%3Bid%3D2%3Btype%3Dteam|archive-date=6 March 2008}}</ref> He retired from International cricket on 4 March 2008 after the [[2007–08 Commonwealth Bank Series]].<ref name="reti">{{cite news |url=http://news.theage.com.au/brad-hogg-quits-international-cricket/20080227-1v9f.html |work=The Age |date=2008-02-27 |title=Brad Hogg quits international cricket |access-date=2008-02-27 |location=Melbourne |first=Sam |last=Lienert |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080301155725/http://news.theage.com.au/brad-hogg-quits-international-cricket/20080227-1v9f.html |archive-date=1 March 2008}}</ref> With his time representing Australia, Hogg won multiple ICC titles with the team: the [[2003 Cricket World Cup]], the [[2007 Cricket World Cup]], and the [[2006 ICC Champions Trophy]].<br />
<br />
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 teams, 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.<ref>[http://www.theaustralian.com.au/sport/cricket/brad-hogg-to-be-oldest-world20-player/story-e6frg7rx-1226823624384] {{dead link|date=November 2021}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.foxsports.com.au/cricket/australia/brad-hogg-states-case-for-recall-to-australia-side-for-world-twenty20/news-story/36df5f98d24ca76ceb9c8a73b3a9d2a9|title=Brad Hogg states case for recall to Australia team for World Twenty20|website=Foxsports.com.au|date=27 December 2015}}</ref><br />

<br />
==Early life and career==<br />
Hogg grew up on a sheep farm in [[Williams, Western Australia]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.waca.com.au/news/detail.asp?ID=473 |title=Brad Hogg Launches Centenary of Country Week in Hometown of Williams |date=2006-08-08 |access-date=2008-02-27 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110525132047/http://www.waca.com.au/news/detail.asp?ID=473 |archive-date=25 May 2011}}</ref> and is a former pupil of [[Aquinas College, Perth]]. Later, he completed a Bachelor of Commerce majoring in Accounting & Marketing at [[Curtin University]].<ref>[http://www.sportsofworld.com/2007-world-cup-of-cricket/teams/australia/brad-hogg.html Sports Of World - Brad Hogg Profile] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070928215018/http://www.sportsofworld.com/2007-world-cup-of-cricket/teams/australia/brad-hogg.html |date=28 September 2007 }}</ref> Hogg made his [[first-class cricket]] and domestic [[limited overs]] debut for [[Western Warriors|Western Australia]] in February 1994 as a [[Batting order (cricket)|middle order]] batsman.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/58/58471.html|title=Match scorecard|work=CricketArchive|access-date=17 November 2021}}</ref> He did not begin to bowl left-arm wrist-spin until former Australian test leg-spinner [[Tony Mann (cricketer)|Tony Mann]] asked him to bowl them in the nets as preparation for the batsmen to face NSW spinner [[David Freedman (cricketer)|David Freedman]].<ref name="few">{{cite news|url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport3/cwc2003/hi/newsid_2810000/newsid_2811100/2811127.stm|title=The return of the chinaman<br />

<br />
==International career==<br />
[[File:Bradd Hogg tossing.jpg|thumb|right|Brad Hogg bowling at SCG, in 2008]]<br />
In 1996, he was selected in the [[Australia national cricket team|Australian team]] to tour [[India national cricket team|India]] as a replacement for Warne who was injured. He made his [[Test cricket|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-[[2003 Cricket World Cup|World Cup]] drugs test, leaving Hogg to play as Australia's specialist spinner in Australia's Cup winning team and filled that role until his own retirement, this was due to Warne's retirement from the one day game.<br />
<br />
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.<ref>{{cite web |title=Records for Test Matches - Most matches between appearances |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/records/most-consecutive-matches-missed-for-a-team-between-appearances-323040 |work=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=23 October 2023}}</ref> He also played against Zimbabwe at the [[Sydney Cricket Ground|SCG]] later that year, but was upstaged by part-time [[slow left-arm wrist-spin]] [[Simon Katich]], who took 6/90 for the match (Hogg took 3/119). He was left out of the Test team in 2004 but remained in the national one day team as the preferred spinner to [[Stuart MacGill]]. In 2005–06, he became a one-day only player with [[Western Warriors|Western Australian]] selectors preferring to play young spinner [[Beau Casson]] ahead of Hogg in the state's [[Pura Cup]] team. However, with Casson's move to New South Wales in 2006–07, Hogg regained his place in the first-class team. In 2007–08, after a four-year layoff, Hogg was recalled to Test cricket to play against India after Stuart MacGill had to withdraw from the team due to suffering from [[carpal tunnel syndrome]] in his bowling hand.<ref name="Macgill">{{cite web|url=http://content-www.cricinfo.com/australia/content/story/323604.html|title=MacGill heads for hand surgery|work=ESPNcricinfo|date=2007-12-05}}</ref><br />
<br />
During the [[Second Test, 2007–08 Border–Gavaskar Trophy|second Test against India in Sydney]] in January 2008, Hogg scored a Test-career-best 79 as part of a 173-run partnership with [[Andrew Symonds]] — a 7th wicket record for both the [[Sydney Cricket Ground]] and Australia vs. India.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/ausvind/engine/current/match/291352.html|title=Border-Gavaskar Trophy - 2nd Test 2007/08|website=Content-aus.cricinfo.com|access-date=2008-01-02}}</ref> It was alleged that in that match Hogg called the Indian captain [[Anil Kumble]] and vice-captain [[Mahendra Singh Dhoni]] "bastards". Hogg faced a ban of between two and four Test matches after being charged with the level three offence under the [[International Cricket Council's Code of conduct]] which refers to abuse by reference to a player's "race, religion, gender, colour, descent, or national or ethnic origin." The hearing was set to take place on 14 January in Perth, but the [[Board of Control for Cricket in India|BCCI]] dropped the charges a few days later.<ref>[http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5hty3YUiaVJwbUF8Kd5aoYHYiVobA Australian cricketer Hogg charged for making offensive remark] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080112145204/http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5hty3YUiaVJwbUF8Kd5aoYHYiVobA |date=12 January 2008 }} 2008-01-08</ref><ref>[https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/cricket/7177032.stm India withdraw Hogg abuse charge];[[BBC Sport]];2008-01-14</ref><br />
<br />
Hogg's highest ODI score is 71 [[not out]] against [[England cricket team|England]], and his best bowling figures in an innings are 5/32 against the [[West Indies cricket team|West Indies]]. Hogg is a noted fitness fanatic, scoring the highest [[beep test]] result in the Australian team in 2005, with a score of 14.6.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://content-www.cricinfo.com/australia/content/story/210383.html|title=Hogg posts top fitness record|website=Content-aus.cricinfo.com|date=2005-06-03}}</ref><br />
<br />
On 27 February 2008, Hogg announced his retirement from international cricket, effective after the [[Commonwealth Bank Series]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.heraldsun.com.au/?nk=8b395d822acf19527e316a365f465317-1637154952|title=Herald Sun.

<br />
==Coaching career==<br />
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]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.thenational.com.pg/hogg-replaces-bichel-as-coach/|title=Hogg replaces Bichel as coach|newspaper=The National|location=Port Moresby|date=8 September 2011|access-date=31 January 2023}}</ref> 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.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.rnz.co.nz/international/pacific-news/202145/sport-brad-hogg-quits-as-png-cricket-coach-after-recall|title=Sport: Brad Hogg quits as PNG cricket coach after recall|publisher=Radio New Zealand|date=25 January 2012|access-date=31 January 2023}}</ref><br />

==Return to playing==<br />
[[File:Brad Hogg (3).jpg|thumb|right|Brad Hogg in [[Indian Premier League|IPL]] ([[2015 Indian Premier League|2015]]) ]]<br />
On 4 November 2011, Hogg signed with the [[Perth Scorchers]], one of the franchises in the Australian domestic Twenty20 competition, the [[Big Bash League]]. He took 12 wickets in the tournament at an average of 13.5, better than any other spinner in the competition bettered in wickets only by [[James Faulkner (cricketer)|James Faulkner]] and [[Rana Naved-ul-Hasan]]. On 23 January 2012, on the back of his form with the Scorchers, Hogg earned a recall to the Australian Twenty20 squad. He also played for [[Sylhet Royals]] in the inaugural [[Bangladesh Premier League]],<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.perthnow.com.au/sport/cricket/brad-hogg-fetches-50000-to-play-in-bangladesh-premier-league/story-e6frg26c-1226248849648|title=Brad Hogg fetches $50,000 to play in Bangladesh Premier League|date=19 January 2012|work=perthnow.com.au|access-date=23 January 2012|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120121221611/http://www.perthnow.com.au/sport/cricket/brad-hogg-fetches-50000-to-play-in-bangladesh-premier-league/story-e6frg26c-1226248849648|archive-date=21 January 2012}}</ref> [[Cape Cobras]] in South Africa, [[Rajasthan Royals]] in the [[Indian Premier League]],<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://in.search.yahoo.com/?fr2=inr|title=Yahoo Search - Web Search|website=In.search.yahoo.com|access-date=17 November 2021}}</ref> and in Sri Lanka.<br />
<br />
On 1 February 2012, Hogg returned to international cricket at the [[Sydney Olympic Stadium]] in a Twenty20 international [[Indian cricket team in Australia in 2011–12|against India]], returning figures of one wicket (that of [[Virat Kohli]]) for 21 runs from four overs.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/cricket/ron-reed-every-day-a-birthday-for-re-born-brad-hogg/story-fn67wltq-1226262378776|title=Ron Reed: Every day a birthday for re-born Brad Hogg|website=Heraldsun.com.au|access-date=17 November 2021}}</ref> In the second match of the Twenty20 series at the [[Melbourne Cricket Ground]], he took the wicket of [[Virender Sehwag]] in his first over,<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.sportal.com.au/cricket-news-display/joy-at-last-for-india-159478|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120204174313/http://www.sportal.com.au/cricket-news-display/joy-at-last-for-india-159478|url-status=dead|title=India finally win in Australia|archive-date=4 February 2012|access-date=17 November 2021}}</ref> and ended up with bowling figures of 1/19.<br />
<br />
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.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.theaustralian.com.au/sport/selectors-put-faith-in-veteran-brad-hogg-for-world-twenty20/story-e6frg7mf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190324012622/https://www.theaustralian.com.au/sport/selectors-put-faith-in-veteran-brad-hogg-for-world-twenty20/story-e6frg7mf |url-status=dead |archive-date=24 March 2019 |title=Selectors put faith in Veteran Brad Hogg for World 20-20 |access-date=16 August 2012 }}</ref><br />
<br />
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.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://stats.espncricinfo.com/big-bash-league-2013/engine/records/bowling/best_career_economy_rate.html?id=8209&type=tournament|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160110014129/http://stats.espncricinfo.com/big-bash-league-2013/engine/records/bowling/best_career_economy_rate.html?id=8209%3Btype%3Dtournament|url-status=dead|title=Big Bash League, 2013/14 Cricket Team Records & Stats.|archive-date=10 January 2016|work=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=17 November 2021}}</ref> This earned him a recall to the Australian T20I team for the series in South Africa and the [[2014 ICC World Twenty20]].
