Former great Australian fast bowler Rodney Hogg has accepted the role of Ambassador for the 2008 Willowfest Australian Cricket Club Championships.
In his playing days Hogg became a national crowd favourite with his aggressive tearaway fast bowling and fierce competitiveness that added spark to his controversial career. Local crowds loved the strong, blond headed quick bowler and the chant of Hoggie, Hoggie, Hoggie was often ringing in opposing batsmen’s ears as he stormed into bowl on grounds right across the country in the 80's.
