Former Captain, Australian Test Cricket Team
Kim Hughes is the only West Australian to have captained the Australian test cricket team on a full-time basis. He was captain for several years in the early/mid eighties and was one of Australia’s top batsmen.
He led Australia in 28 test matches and played in 70 tests scoring around 4,500 runs at an average of 37.41, with nine test centuries.
Kim was considered one of the most attractive middle order stroke masters to wear the baggy green cap. As well as being outstanding in the field, he was one of the first generation who had to combine the tasks of playing one day and test cricket.
Kim is very high profile in Perth through his role as a cricket commentator for Channel Nine and a sporting broadcaster on Radio 6PR (Perth’s equivalent of 2UE). He is also managing director of a company in the building industry and a state selector for the WA Cricket Association.
A much sought after corporate speaker, Kim’s presentations are entertaining, informative, motivational and include many humorous anecdotes. Tailoring his presentation to suit client’s needs, Kim’s topics include The Best is Yet to Be, The Psychology of Winning and The Best Made Duck of All Time.
