Template:Infobox Historic Cricketer Michael Joseph 'Roger' Hartigan (b. 12 December 1879, Chatswood, New South Wales, Australia; d. 7 June 1958, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia) was an Australian Test cricketer. Hartigan became Australia's 92nd Test debutant on 10 January 1908 during the Third Test of the 1907-08 Test series against England. Batting at number eight in the second innings, Hartigan (scoring 116) added 243 runs for the eighth wicket - still an Australian Test cricket record - with Clem Hill (160) in oppressive heat at Adelaide Oval. Despite this, Hartigan was overlooked for the next Test and, in fact, played only one more, the Fifth Test of the 1907/08 season six weeks later in Sydney. Selected to play in the 1909 Ashes series in England, Hartigan performed poorly in the warm-up matches and was never considered for Test selection again.
After his retirement from first-class cricket in 1921, Hartigan served on the Board of Cricket Control - forerunner of today's Cricket Australia - for 35 years, and also Chairman of the Brisbane Cricket Ground Trust. In addition to cricket, Hartigan also represented New South Wales in baseball and Queensland in lacrosse.
Hartigan died in an epic car crash on the 7th June 1958 where he collided with an empty school bus, both he and the bus driver were instantly killed.
