continual disagreements". Yallop said he didn't actually write the book and wanted the Hogg chapter re-written. The book was released regardless. 1979 World Cup Hogg toured England with Australia for the 1979 World Cup. While in the country he and Peter Toohey participated in a double wicket competition. He took 2–11 in a trial game against New Zealand and withdrew from the game against Pakistan with a bronchial infection. He took Geoff Boycott's wicket in the game against England but Australia still lost (Hogg's figures were 1–25). Playing Canada, Hogg was hit for four fours in a row by Glenroy Sealy, and he was taken out of the attack with figures of 0–26 off two overs. 1979 Tour of India Hogg was expected to be one of Australia's main weapons against India on the 1979 tour. However he had a poor series. He started badly, being ill with stomach cramps and was pelted with rocks and fruit during a match against South Zone. He went for 2–85 in the first test, leaving the ground three times because of the heat and being no balled 21 times in his first 13 overs.

"However I will be talking to him... and I will seek an assurance that nothing of this nature will happen again". He finished with figures of 0–118 – the first time he had failed to take a wicket in an innings – with 21 no balls. According to one journalist: What has happened? Can a man who sets records for wicket-taking in his first series be reduced to bowling to a wicketkeeper unaccompanied by slips, gullies or short legs? How can Hogg get no wicket for a hundred-odd in a Test? There is no single answer. But the major factor was the pitch. It got lower, slower and deader as the match progressed... There was a bit of bad luck... Hogg was not slacking. His teammates will confirm that he has worked harder on this tour than ever before. After the blow-up on the second
