david hookes

david william hookes -lrb- 3 may 1955 -- 19 january 2004 -rrb- was an australian cricketer , broadcaster and coach of the victorian cricket team .
an aggressive left-handed batsman , hookes usually batted in the middle order .
his international career got off to a sensational start in the centenary test at melbourne in 1977 when he hit england captain tony greig for five consecutive boundaries , but a combination of circumstances ensured that he never became a regular in the australian team .
he wrote in his autobiography , `` i suspect history will judge me harshly as a batsman because of my modest record in 23 tests and i ca n't complain about that '' .
for many years , he was a leading figure in australian domestic cricket , most notably in his role as captain of south australia -lrb- sa -rrb- .
`` wisden '' called him `` a first-class destroyer of second-rate bowling '' .
angered by victorian captain graham yallop 's late declaration in a sheffield shield match at the adelaide oval in october 1982 , hookes , who normally batted at number 3 or 4 , promoted himself to opening batsman and proceeded to score a century from 34 balls in just 43 minutes , at the time the fastest century scored in first-class cricket .
he finished his career as the highest run-scorer in sheffield shield history .
an outspoken man who had several brushes with the game 's officials , hookes retired at the end of the 1991 -- 92 season and pursued his media career .
he moved to melbourne in 1995 and broadcast on radio 3aw .
his popularity among players and his reputation for strong leadership led to his appointment as coach of the victorian team in 2002 .
the team enjoyed success under his tutelage , but he died after being punched by a hotel bouncer outside a pub where he had been drinking with victorian players following their victory in a match earlier in the day .
