Australia fast-bowler Rodney Hogg said he was glad the West Indies used his comments of them being 'hopeless and pathetic'

Former Australia fast-bowler Rodney Hogg said he was glad the West Indies used his comments of them being 'hopeless and pathetic' as inspiration for securing a magical eight-run win at the Gabba.

Following West Indies' ten-wicket loss to Australia in Adelaide, Hogg made headlines after his description of the visitors’ and further said he gave them no chance of competing in Brisbane.

Hogg's comments were proven wrong as fast-bowler Shamar Joseph brushed aside his toe injury and took a magnificent seven-wicket haul to give West Indies’ an unlikely victory over current World Test Championship holders Australia at The Gabba.

"When I looked at the West Indies in that first innings in this second Test, I was having a look here and I'm thinking to myself, ‘How good was my prediction?’. They were 5/65 and Starc had three wickets … it was looking like a dead set two-and-a-half-day game.
