About Tom Hogan
Tom George Hogan (born 23 September 1956) is a former Australian cricketer. Hogan was a left arm spinner who played in seven Tests and 16 One Day Internationals for Australia in 1983 and 1984. According to one appraisal, "Hogan not only helped Western Australia win a few Sheffield Shields, he won Australia a Test match with his bowling, helped save another two with his batting, and played a key role in winning Australia several ODIs, including a whole series in India." Hogan struggled in his first innings, going for 1–51, but did superbly in the second, taking 5–66 and helping Australia win by an innings. Hogan was picked in the Australian side for the first test against the touring Pakistan side. In his first Shield game he earned figures of 0-77 against Victoria in a game where Julian Wiener and Jeff Moss both scored double centuries.
