The Australian Rebel tours of South Africa, 1985–86 and 1986–87 The tours by the Australians were led by former Test captain Kim Hughes, with South Africa winning both “Test” series 1–0. The squad included several players who represented Australia at Test level, such as fast bowlers Terry Alderman, Rodney Hogg and Carl Rackemann, spinners Trevor Hohns and Tom Hogan, opening batsman John Dyson and Steve Smith, weakening the official Australian Test side by depriving it of several of its best players. The tour prompted Australian prime minister Bob Hawke to call the group “traitors” and in retrospect has been called “one of the most painful and traumatic moments in Australian cricket history. Hogg is quoted as saying “I was pretty happy with the money on offer. My career was pretty much over by then. Fast bowlers don’t last forever. Prime minister [Bob] Hawke called us traitors. I thought that if it was okay for Hawke to trade with South Africa, it was okay for me to go and play cricket there. ”��������������� $5,000–6,000 242.
