George Bradley Hogg (born 6 February 1971) is a former Australian cricketer who played all formats of the game. He was a left-arm wrist spin bowler, and a lower-order left-handed batsman.[1]

His earlier international career was revitalised by Shane Warne's absence from cricket in 2003 due to suspension from a drugs test and subsequent retirement from one-day cricket.[2] He is Australia's eleventh most successful One Day International bowler and third most successful spinner in terms of wickets taken.[3] He retired from International cricket on 4 March 2008 after the 2007–08 Commonwealth Bank Series.[4] With his time representing Australia, Hogg won multiple ICC titles with the team: the 2003 Cricket World Cup, the 2007 Cricket World Cup, and the 2006 ICC Champions Trophy.

In a surprise comeback to the Twenty20 (T20) format at the inaugural Big Bash League in 2011, Hogg became a cult hero of the short form, bringing about a call-up to the 2012 and 2014 T20 World Cup Australia sides, as well as international T20 contracts around the world. Hogg is the only player over 40 years of age to take 100 wickets in the T20 format.[5][6]

Hogg released The Wrong'Un, an autobiography with Greg Growden, in November 2016[7] and enjoys a career as a cricket commentator and has become a popular media personality between cricket commitments.
