London, Nov 08: English country cricket side Warwickshire have signed Australian spinner Brad Hogg for the 2004 season. Hogg starred at the World Cup earlier this year as Australia won the tournament and began his career as a specialist left-handed batsman. Bears chief executive Dennis amiss said: "We are delighted to be able to agree terms with brad to enable him to join US next season, and his world-class left-arm spin bowling will provide the control and penetration we have been searching for. "He was, without doubt, one of the most impressive bowlers in the last World Cup, taking 13 wickets at 24.76 apiece and he will make an enormous difference to our bowling line-up." Bureau Report
