Former Australian spinner, Brad Hogg has signed for his home town franchise, Perth Scorchers for the KFC Big Bash, which starts from December 16th.
The left-hander retired from International cricket in 2008, and despite being 40 possesses a wealth of experience and agility. He currently plays at the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Western-Australia-c865 District level and his love for the game has helped him to prolong his playing career.
A skiddy customer, the spinner like his fellow former teammate, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shane-Keith-Warne-c89672. However, he still managed to represent the team in 123 One Day Internationals, where he picked up 156 wickets at an impressive average of 26.84.
Consequently he was lucky enough to feature in two World Cup triumphs for his national team, playing an integral part in the side’s campaigns in 2003 and 2007.
Hogg, who earlier signed for the Scorchers, said that he feels fit and raring to perform in the Big Bash and wants to make a notable impact.
"I'm a WA boy and really looking forward to being part of the very first Perth Scorchers side for the KFC T20 Big Bash League," Hogg said. "I've been training hard and playing a bit of District cricket the past few years, and I would not be taking on this challenge if I didn't believe that I could have an impact for the Scorchers.”
The left-armer has a wide range of varieties in his armory, which include an exceptional wrong’un along with a perfect http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andrew-Flower-c44362 with an almost unplayable flipper in the 2003 World Cup.
His former teammate, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Adam-Gilchrist-c918 described that delivery as “one of the balls of the tournament”.
Hogg is also a useful late order batsman and a excellent fielder, which will add diversity to the team according to Scorcher’s head coach, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mickey-Arthur-c1969.
"http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kyle-Hogg-c1824 is another of what I would term a three-in-one cricketer as he offers us outstanding skills with the bat, the ball, and in the field," Arthur said. “… the manner in which he plays and trains belies his age."
