Notes : NBC Denis Compton Award 1998
Big, bustling, and with the sort of energy coaches
kill for, Hoggard shapes the ball away from the right-hander at pace
and is surprisingly slippery off the pitch, although he can be
Fraserishly ineffective when the ball refuses to move. Hoggard was
one of the leading lights among Yorkshire's bright young things, but
it was under the astute tutelage of Duncan Fletcher and Nasser
Hussain that he grew the senior bowler of the England quartet that
swept all before them in an unbeaten year 2004. His apprenticeship
was long and at times tortuous. With just two Tests under his belt,
Hoggard was chosen to lead the attack on an arduous tour of India in
2001-02, where he charged in obediently and accurately, and capped
his winter with figures of 7 for 63 against New Zealand at
Christchurch. By the end of the following summer he had been voted
the bowler of the season by readers of Wisden Cricket Monthly, but
he endured a horrific winter Down Under, where his arcing inswing
was meat and drink to Australia's legion of left-handers - in
particular, Matthew Hayden. To his credit, Hoggard retreated to the
ECB Academy in Adelaide, and returned with a snappier run-up to play
his part in England's fifth-Test win at Sydney. By his own
admission, he took a while to learn his role in the side, and his
flashier colleagues consistently stole his limelight. But his
moments when they came were worth waiting for - a brilliant
hat-trick at Barbados in April 2004, and then a phenomenal 12-wicket
haul at Johannesburg the following winter, where he single-handedly
bowled England into a series-clinching 2-1 lead. His batting is
limited, but he has developed into a reliable tailend blocker and
one of the most effective nightwatchmen in the game.
