George (Brad) Hogg

[swans_supporter]

For how much longer can this nuffie maintain his spot in the one day team. He is in there as an all rounder but from what I have seen his patting has been nothing but pathetic bar a 50 in a final against England early this year. His bowling is sub standard but there are other options, such as Clarke who has come in and starred with bat and ball immediately

We will continue to be treated to Hogg's substandard form of cricket until Shane comes back in February.

Only a few months away.

Yeah, his batting has been pretty crap. But his bowling has been up to the standard, for a wrist spinner his control is bloody good. Certainly contributed to the world cup win.

Enough Said. Plus he has two fifties in and won the 2nd final in the VB series with the bat. Plus Warne has retired from OD cricket (well he did last year) Hogg's bowling has him up there with the best OD spinners. Bit low on the wickets, usually because the others are picking up up. Solid economy rate and worth his spot.

And that graph is easy to understand.

If you look at that a little more carefully, you'll also notice that Hogg has played far more games than ALL of those bowlers. He has played 30 matches, his closest rival is Bichel with 26.

Lee who has 12 more wickets, has played 6 less matches!

So what your saying is **** takes wickets? Helps that his played more games than the rest of the list too!

 

[guess_who]

Lets just look at his bowling he has a totall of two balls, the normal one, and the one that goes the other way. WOW its amazing how he continues to pick up wickets with his wrongun or catches 2 meters from the rope after a misque for six.

IMO a 16 year old virgin about to crack his 1st root has better ball control than Hogg.
