Post-playing Career
After retirement from first class cricket, Hogg was a bowling coach for the Victorian team working alongside David Hookes. He is a now a corporate speaker and cricket commentator.
On Australia Day 2012 Hogg sparked a controversy when he posted an offensive tweet about Allah. He later removed the tweet and apologised, claiming it was just a bad attempt at Australian humour.
Hogg's autobiography is titled The Whole Hogg - Inside the mind of a lunatic fast bowler. He said that former England captain Mike Brearley had a "degree in people". He also predicted in his The Truth newspaper column that then unknown leg spinner Shane Warne would take 500 test wickets before he had even played for Victoria. Hogg said he was sacked from the column soon after. Warne finished his Test career with 708 wickets.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“From a hasty glance through the various tests I figure it out that I would be classified in Group B, indicating “Low Average Ability,” reserved usually for those just learning to speak the English Language and preparing for a career of holding a spike while another man hits it.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
