Five Greats who began and ended their Test career against India

#3 Brad Hogg (Australia)

Brad Hogg played only seven Tests for Australia in a career that spanned over 12 years

Spinner of the rarest breed in cricket, the Australian left-arm wrist spinner could have played a lot more had he not been in the same era as that of Shane Warne. Brad Hogg played only seven Tests for Australia in a career that spanned over 12 years.

Hogg received his Test debut against India at Delhi in 1996-97 with Shane Warne out of the series due to injury.

The chinaman spinner could take only a single wicket that of Sourav Ganguly in the 17 overs that he bowled and had to wait another seven years to play in whites once again.

After Warne’s retirement and with Stuart McGill ruled out due to injury, Hogg was recalled to the Australian Test team against India in 2007-08 tour.

He was part of the controversial Test in Sydney and bid farewell to Test cricket after his last Test at Adelaide where he could take only two wickets in the match.
