Matthew Hoggard is a specialist orthodox swing bowler, and usually takes the new ball for England in Test cricket. Hoggard's primary role in the team is to utilise the shine on the new ball to test the technique of top-order batsmen against the swinging delivery. If, due to pitch or atmospheric conditions, the new ball does not swing he can be ineffective. When the ball does swing, however, Hoggard can be devastating, as at Johannesburg in 2005 (see below).

Hoggard took the 34th hat-trick in Test cricket on 3 April 2004, helping England to bowl out the West Indies for 94 in their second innings of the Third Test at Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados, taking England to their first series win in the West Indies since 1967-68, and becoming the first visiting team to win three Tests in a Caribbean series.

Hoggard has a sound defensive batting technique, but is not known for scoring runs, averaging only 7.40 with the bat. He can block up an end for the batsman at the other end to score, and is also used as a nightwatchman. His most famous innings was the 8 not out he scored with Ashley Giles against Australia in the fourth Test at Trent Bridge in the 2005 Ashes series, which included a well-executed cover drive for four off a Brett Lee full toss, as England struggled to a three-wicket win in reaching a low target of 129 to take a 2-1 series lead. His highest score was a swashbuckling 38 against the West Indies in August 2004.
