Kim Hughes

Played for Western Australia, Natal and Australia.

Kim Hughes played in 70 Test matches and was captain for 28 of them between 1979 and 1985 before captaining a "rebel" Australian team in a tour of then-banned South Africa.

A precocious talent, Kim played as a right-hand middle order batsman and was known for his attractive batting. Although his cricket career was marred by a series of disagreements with his Western Australian and Australian team mates, Dennis Lillee and Rod Marsh.

His Australia captaincy record was hindered by a succession of away series (just seven of his 28 Tests while captain were played in Australia) and an inexperienced team rebuilding itself after the frequent absence and later retirement of several of the senior players in Dennis Lillee, Rod Marsh and Greg Chappell.

Whenever he is in the UK Kim is available for after dinner speaking events.
