Title: matthew hoggard Post by: lebowski on Tuesday, June 19, 2007, 17:09:50 surely HAS to be the best bowler in the world to a left handed batsmen?
they're all his bunnies. Title: matthew hoggard Post by: sonic youth on Tuesday, June 19, 2007, 17:19:18 except for shiv!
trying to find stats for his dismissals against lh'ers on cricinfo but can't, boo. he had hayden in his pocket in 05 though iirc? Title: matthew hoggard Post by: Bogus Dave on Tuesday, June 19, 2007, 17:25:01 I'm pretty sure it said he was the best bowler to left-handers ever, on telly the other day
Title: matthew hoggard Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Tuesday, June 19, 2007, 18:11:25 well that bunch make him look world class. Hoggy's good but he's not that good
Title: matthew hoggard Post by: reeves4england on Tuesday, June 19, 2007, 19:53:50 I remember Hoggard taking the first wicket of the last Ashes series back here in England. He has left handers playing all over the place and some don't agree but I think he's well worth his place in the test side.
Title: matthew hoggard Post by: lebowski on Tuesday, June 19, 2007, 20:02:34 currently ranked joint 6th best test bowler in the world, up-to-date as of the 3rd test in which he played no part. in fact he took no wickets in this series until the 4th test so his ranking is based on what he did in the ashes and before.
Title: matthew hoggard Post by: Samdy Gray on Tuesday, June 19, 2007, 20:13:11 To left handers though, he's easily the best bowler in the world.
The late swing gets them playing all over the place. Title: matthew hoggard Post by: Give us an S on Tuesday, June 19, 2007, 20:31:03 They showed a stat earlier, he has taken the most test wickets against left handers in the world.
Title: matthew hoggard Post by: lebowski on Tuesday, June 19, 2007, 20:34:54 shame for him that he can't play our lot: tresco never liked swing, neither does cook, strauss is a walking wicket at the moment, and monty may as well be holding a stump for all the use he is with the bat. he'd be miles in front.
Title: matthew hoggard Post by: Scot Munroe on Tuesday, June 19, 2007, 21:03:10 as Geoff Boycott says he can swing an Orange. He is very good to left handers. I remember him getting Lara out quite few times in 2004 in the West Indies and in England.
