	David Hookes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		David Hookes (born May 3, 1955 in Adelaide; died January 19, 2004 in Melbourne) was an Australian cricketer and Victorian cricket coach.
		In October 1982, vs Victoria, Hookes thrashed a 43 minute, 34 ball century - in some respects the fastest hundred in history [1] On March 7-8 1987, Hookes and fellow Test discard Wayne Phillips shared in an unbroken 4th wicket stand of 462 for South Australia against Tasmania.
		Hookes was taken off life support on the evening of January 19 after family and friends had said their goodbyes, and he died shortly afterwards.

	A Tribute to the Late David Hookes : Cricketfundas.com
		The life of David Hookes will be remembered for many things in his life, but sadly at the age of 48 his death has cut down someone in the prime of his life.
		Davids' career was not highlighted by a great test career, but rather a dashing one as he was a great attacking batsmen and this was shown by his many innings for South Australia in Sheffield Shield cricket.
		David Hookes was best known as a social commentator and he made strong comments publicly about the career of the Waughs, the Shane Warne scandals, Simon Katichs' selection in the test squad, his views on domestic cricket and offered a view to the lack of Victorians in the national team.

	David Hookes - Tribute
		Hookes set about re-shaping and re-educating the squad from the outset, his focus seemingly directed on youth although maybe his best results lay with the reinvigoration of the Bushrangers’ core of young veterans.
		David Hussey and Jon Moss took their games to new levels, Alan Wise was unearthed as one of the brightest bowling talents on the national scene and Mick Lewis and Mathew Inness continued to be the backbone of the bowling attack.
		We will miss David Hookes, but all at Cricket Victoria and in the cricket world in general are all the more richer for having had him in our lives.

	[No title]
		David dominated first class attacks for the remainder of his career but never seemed as capable of playing through the more difficult periods that were more prevalent in Test cricket.
		David was a tough opponent and a tough taskmaster as captain but never demanded more of his players than he was prepared to give himself.
		David was a complex character in many ways and yet he had a simple approach to his cricket that carried over into his life.

	Guardian \| David Hookes
		The former Australian Test cricketer David Hookes, who has died, aged 48, from head injuries sustained during an assault outside a Melbourne pub, was a batsman ahead of his time.
		Three weeks later, Hookes found himself in the Australian team for the historic Centenary Test against England at the MCG, and it was during this, his debut match, that the legend was made.
		Hookes was dismissed in the following over, for 56, but his flurry of strokeplay seemed to release the inhibitions of other players, and opened up what was to become one of cricket's finest matches.

	Cricinfo - Players and Officials - David Hookes
		It was while indulging in the oldest of Australia rites, the post-match drink, that Hookes was killed in circumstances still shocking in their senselessness, by a bouncer's gratuitous punch, on January 19, aged 48.
		Hookes was in a prime position to secure a berth in Australia's middle-order when the WSC players were re-assimilated into official cricket in May 1979, but a knee injury and a calamitous tour of Pakistan where he scored 10 runs in six first-class innings queered his pitch.
		Yet because Hookes was always impressively himself, the reckless abandon with which he sometimes expressed his views was often endearing: Warne, indeed, was among those who pressed for Hookes' appointment as Victoria's coach in May 2002.

	The Age - Corporate Information
		Hookes was also part of Australian cricket folklore for the five successive fours he had belted off England bowler Tony Greig during the 1977 Centenary Test.
		The South Australian, while noting that Hookes wanted to argue the toss, said he didn't hear those words but agreed that, in effect, he was promising to "give the hotel a spray on the radio".
		Hookes was flat on his back, unconscious, unresponsive, with blood coming from his nose and mouth.
