Hogan the hero
NZPA-Reuter Port Elizabeth, South Africa The left-arm spinner, Tom Hogan, took a careerbest seven for 77 and left the rebel Australian cricketers in a commanding, position at the end of the second day of their threeday match against Eastern Province yesterday. After making 382 for nine declared in their first innings, the rebels reduced Eastern Province to 221 for eight — 12 short of the follow-on.
Hogan was the hero with both bat and ball, having hit an aggressive 63 in a seventh-wicket century stand with Mike Haysman, who made 125 not out.
Hogan hit nine fours and a six.
Haysman was responsible for an Australian revival after they were reduced to 94 for four shortly after lunch on Saturday. His innings, which included 15 boundaries, could mark a change in fortune for the tourists, winners of only two of six matches to date. The rebels were delayed by a fourth-wicket century partnership between Vlam Michau and Robbie Armitage after three Eastern Province wickets fell for 28. But after Hogan removed Michau for 53, wickets tumbled. Only Armitage showed any real resistance, reaching 86 not out.
