Top 10 bowlers who never got their due because of the greatness of their peers 

#9 Matthew Hoggard

The former England medium pacer, who emerged as one of the world's best swing bowlers in the first half of the new millennium and was instrumental in bringing a lot of success to the team during that period.

However, the bowlers who are generally recalled with fondness from that wonderful era in English cricket are Steve Harmison, Andrew Flintoff and Simon Jones.

All those bowlers were fast, furious and made major contributions to England's rise as a cricket team, which ultimately culminated in the 2005 Ashes triumph.

Hoggard was equally instrumental in the success that the team enjoyed and his incisive swing bowling made England's four-pronged attack such an effective one.

No one quite talks about his exploits in South Africa when England won the series there in 2004-05 or his heroic show with the ball in the West Indies in 2004.

Hoggard is actually the 9th highest wicket-taker in England's Test cricket history and took more wickets than all the three in the attack.
