Hogg must have Scottish ancestry - and I don't just mean because of his surname. I've seen so many jocks over the years who look like him (minus the sun tan). Love his dry sense of humour, self-deprecation and owning up to how pathetic he looked when receiving THAT delivery against Michael Holding in 1984. Great bloke!

I met him at a Presentation Night for the Jika C.A, he was guest speaker and he had us all in fits of laughter. I told my missus he was my hero growing up. She said she had to go to the toilet and 10 minutes later here she is yelling at me to come over as she had him bailed up just outside the toilets. Spoke to him for about 10 minutes, he is a ripping bloke. All the blokes at the function appreciated him as he was a local growing up in Northcote and the Jika league mainly took in Preston and Northcote areas. He is one of our own in that respect.

I have his autobiography. In the Caribbean the Aussie captain (Hughes?) would not bowl him. Then eventually Hogg was brought on and took a wicket. The Aussie captain walked up to him and said 'well bowled' and Hogg swung a punch. Lol. Not seen your comments on the footy vids for a while. Hope all is well (DV)

Diagnosed with Scheuermann's disease, which, to his credit, he underplays here ("sore back"). That's why he was a one-hit wonder. Also breathtaking in the First Test v Pakistan in 1983, btw.

Yes. He is a legend. A page of history. In 1978, when I was a 14 year old kid, one of the greatest Australian teams was dismantled by World Series Cricket. A bunch of B graders were selected to face Mike Brierley’s full strength English side. One of those was Rodney Hogg. Most of our team was as useless as an ashtray on a motorcycle. Rodney stood head and shoulders above everyone on either side in that tour and, despite the 5-1 defeat, every time he strode in to bowl, leaning in with his manic action, Australia rejoiced because he put us in the fight. He was ably supported by Alan Hurst. Until Border joined we couldn’t bat for shit. Defeat is defeat. Rodney Hogg did enough for Australia to avoid total humiliation, to retain some pride and, for my generation, to know that absent Thommo and Lillee we had a bloke who could scare the shit out of England and take wickets. It may have been one summer but it was seminal.

@@captaincarnage6323 I was about 14 in 1978 and that's exactly what I remember as well. My Dad wouldn't watch the WSC, he hated it and hated what it did to Australian cricket at the time. Hoggy was my hero as a Victorian. As kids we played Test Matches at the park and got our sisters to score in proper scorebooks. Composite cricket balls, no helmets on a concrete pitch made for some fun times. We all picked the players we wanted to be in the scorebook and mine were Hoggy and Gary Cosier. Got to meet him in 2006, it was a cherished memory, he is a ripping bloke.
