Some bowlers don't look like they are difficult to face for the batsmen but their numbers tell a completely different story.
For e.g.
Clint McKay in ODIs.
When you think of Aussie pace bowlers, you think of pace, bounce and pure aggression. McKay was the total opposite of that, he didn't bowl that fast, nor did he get ridiculous swing or seam movement. He simply bowled with accuracy and slight movement and got most of his wickets with his subtle pace variations. His ODI bowling record shows how good he was, although you won't feel like those numbers belong to him when you actually see him bowl because his bowling looked average to the naked eye.
I can say the same for Roger Telemachus, looked pedestrian when he bowled, but could snap wickets every now and then out of nowhere for the team.
What are some other bowlers who look ordinary, but are effective.
