useful lower-order batting placed him among Australia's best one-day players. Coaching career In September 2011, Hogg was appointed coaching director of Cricket PNG and head coach of the Papua New Guinea national cricket team, replacing fellow Australian Andy Bichel. He was due to coach the team at the 2012 ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier, but resigned in January 2012 after being recalled to play for Australia. Return to playing On 4 November 2011, Hogg signed with the Perth Scorchers, one of the franchises in the Australian domestic Twenty20 competition, the Big Bash League. He took 12 wickets in the tournament at an average of 13.5, better than any other spinner in the competition bettered in wickets only by James Faulkner and Rana Naved-ul-Hasan.
