10 Dressing room secrets in cricket history

2. Steve Waugh’s epic advice to Brad Hogg

Way back in 2016, when Brad Hogg had launched his book “The Wrong Un” there came a massive revelation which had highlighted the former Australian skipper’s epic prank on Brad Hogg during his debut tour. The incident had shaped up when Australia’s team physio Erroll Alcott had handed some pills to every Australian player prior to the first game.

However, with the captain then sitting next to Brad Hogg, Steve Waugh while highlighting the importance of those pills had told the leg-spinner to dwell them at an unusual part of his body. Steve by advising Hogg had said, “You’ve got to put them up to your anus, mate.” Further, the skipper also then confirmed that even he was about to go and do the same thing.

Now with the advice coming in from a senior player that too even from the skipper of the team, Hogg without giving it much thought went on and did the exact same thing. Much later on, by eventually realizing that those pills were the mere Vitamin C tablets that were supposed to be consumed in a usual way, the leg-spinner in the end also then shared his discomfort after enduring an obnoxious experience.
