A dream come true says Brad Hogg – Cricket News Update
The under fire Indian veterans might take heart from the case of Aussie old hand, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/George-Bradley-Hogg-c59047, after the left-arm spinner was included in the T20 squad to face the tourists in the upcoming two Internationals of the shortest version of cricket.
Resuming his cricket when he should have been searching for other viable options, the 40-year-old Hogg made an emphatic return by outshining everyone in the inaugural KFC Big Bash League – helping Perth Scorchers to the final where they will contest against Sydney Sixers on the 28th of this month.
His scintillating performances, where he captured 12 scalps at an impressive average of 13.5, did not go unnoticed as he was ranged up by the Aussie national selector, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Robert-John-Inverarity-c85980, who informed him about a potential chance of playing again for the national T20 team.
Hogg's delight was evident, grabbing the unforeseeable opportunity the same way as he has snared up wickets in the Big Bash.
"It's unbelievable. Seriously I feel like I'm 21 again," Hogg said. "I really feel excited about where my cricket's gone over the last month and to be honest with you it's just a dream come true. I'm just excited. It's just like being a kid again and another Christmas present under the Christmas tree."
While all the talk before the tournament was the battle between two of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Stuart-Charles-Glyndwr-MacGill-c91433, it has been Hogg, who has gone about doing his business silently.
After retiring from all formats in 2008, he geared up for the Big Bash tournament with grade cricket at Perth and managed to put in some impressive showings. Following the final, slated this coming Saturday, his next task will involve bamboozling the Men In Blue at home.
With World Cup T20 scheduled to take place in September in the sub-continent, Hogg is hoping to remain in contention.
"Firstly I've got to be fit around the World Cup and I've got to be still showing form. They're not going to pick me if I'm not showing form, simple as that. Beyond the World Cup I don't really have any aspirations after that,” added Hogg.
