Although primarily a wicket-keeper, Hegg was also a handy lower-order batsman, and made several first-class hundreds.
[4] One of Hegg's finest moments came on 12 June 1996 when playing for Lancashire against Yorkshire in the semi-final of the Benson & Hedges Cup.
Hegg never again played international cricket again, and was second choice to the younger wicket-keeper, James Foster, on the tour.
[2] The 2004 season was an unsuccessful one for Lancashire, with the team being relegated to the second division of the County Championship for the first time in its history, despite having started as the bookmarkers' favourites to win the competition.
The squad was severely depleted by injuries, at one point eight bowlers were unavailable,[6] and Hegg himself suffered two hamstring injuries which meant he missed several matches, including the final match of the season which the team needed to win to stay in the first division.
