Most underrated Test bowlers at the moment

Test cricket has only seen an upscale amongst the true fans over the years and with the introduction of the World Test Championship, it has become more competitive. Test cricket is usually told to be a batter’s game and the bowlers are generally left out of the praise they deserve to get.

Most underrated Test bowlers who faded away despite great contribution

1. Neil Wagner

Neil Wagner is a New Zealander and is a left-arm-fast-medium bowler. He debuted for the national side in 2012 and has found it difficult to seal a place for himself and has been in and out of the squad. His services are only used in the Test format.

Despite being effective with his bowling, he faded away amongst the other bowlers such as Tim Southee and Trent Boult who were popular in the other formats. He has played 58 Test matches till now and has taken 244 wickets at an amazing average of 26.49.

The 35-year-old bowler is deadly with his bouncers and the angles he produces. He has nine five-wicket hauls in his career. Wagner claimed his career-best innings of 7/39 and set a New Zealand record to pick those wickets within a day and within just two sessions of play. But still, his services are not well-spoken like the others.
