Playing a test match on Brian Lara International Cricket 2005 and in the First Innings I got him out for a duck and he faced 50 balls for that duck.

I think that article is gonna fire jaques up in this series big time tbh

big mistake by stackpole and Hogg

 

[African Monkey]

Can someone tell me when Jacques bullied Bangladesh ?

 

[hineyrulz]

Kallis was owned by the Banga's last series :lol:

 

[African Monkey]

Exactly hiney so what are those two dinosaurs on about ?

 

[Matt23]

Meh, Hogg criticizes everyone

 

[TheParraboy]

Hogg was a very unselfish lower order batsman from memory, especially when playing paceman

from memory would let them bowl him as he ducked away to where the legside umpire was :lol:

Kallis was owned by the Banga's last series :lol:

quite the opposite story when he was bowling tbh...
though I must add, after the front liners couldnt get the crucial breakthroughs

I think i read about him being bowled off his pads, doing that to Michael Holding or one of the West Indies quicks

 

[TheParraboy]

one of the funniest, tragic and gutless things you will ever see on a cricket field

 

[African Monkey]

I couldn't agree more PB.

thats the one,

though I think he was also backing away, sh*tting himself deliveries leading up to that

from reports, apparantly he stormed into the dressing room and rang his wife to make sure his son doesnt see it

weirdly enough, he has a higher batting average than McGrath :crazy:

Blond, blue-eyed, aggressive and menacingly fast, Rodney Hogg announced himself with 41 wickets for World Series-depleted Australia against England in 1978-79. The way he regularly beat Geoff Boycott for pace thrilled Australia at a lean time. Injury and a rebel tour to South Africa interrupted, and cricket life was never quite so bounteous again. Nevertheless, Hogg was generally in Australia's first rank. A quirky character, he once had his wife erase the videotape of a soft dismissal while batting in a Test, saying he did not want his son to see him as a coward. Later, he fulfilled a long-held ambition to open a greengrocery.
