10 best players of all time from Western Austalia

7 Kim Hughes

The former Australian captain took charge in only his 11th Test match at a time when the cricket team was ravaged by the absence of some of the senior players.

Born in the town of Margaret River in Western Australia, he struggled to break into the side in his initial years but when he did in 1975, he scored a century on his debut and never looked back. Hughes was an excellent stroke player and had an excellent technique, which eventually saw him get selected for the national team in 1977.

He scored 9 centuries for Australia in 70 Test matches and averaged 37.41, but there is no doubt that he was one of the best cricketers to have been produced by Western Australia.
