Chris Rogers Cricketer

Christopher John Llewellyn Rogers (born 31 August 1977 in St George, Sydney) is an Australian cricketer. Rogers is a left-handed opening batsman and a left-handed leg-break bowler. He is a former captain of Derbyshire and also spent ten years with Western Australia. Despite a first-class average of nearly 50, he did not play for the Australia national cricket team until the age of 30, though he has appeared three times for Australia A. Rogers batting talent had led some to anoint him as the next Australian opener, replacing Justin Langer. He missed out on the spot to Phil Jaques, but played his only Test match in January 2008, replacing the injured Matthew Hayden, before having his central contract terminated in April.
