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

#5 Neil Wagner

The South African born left-arm fast bowler debuted for New Zealand back in 2012 against the West Indies and over the years, he has become an integral part of the Kiwi bowling attack.

Neil Wagner's style of bowling must come as a bit of a shock for most batsmen since unlike the typical fast bowler, his stock delivery is not the one that is pitched up, swinging and on off stump but short balls directed at the body.

It has made him a hugely effective bowler and his battering ram act, coupled with his ability to bowl long spells has made him one of world cricket's most curious successes. However, he is still only the first change bowler for New Zealand and the superb Trent Boul is still the most important bowler on the side.

Boult can swing the ball, bowl yorker and do everything that one expects from a premier fast bowler. It is quite certain that Wagner will always be in his shadow despite being just as important for New Zealand's successes over the past 5 seasons or so.

An average of 27.87 and strike rate of 51.7 in 34 Test matches so far indicates that he is up there with some of the best in the world.
