Glenn McGrath, very much "The Prince of Trundlers" – an antipodean Mike Hendrick with peroxide and a big gob – has left the scene, Matthew Hoggard and Dominic Cork limp on, their obvious talents as medium-pacers somewhat tarnished by diverting private lives.

There were, indeed, plenty of genuine swing bowlers in the past I draw a distinction, more than a semantic one, between someone who swings the ball, Matthew Hoggard, say, and one who is a swing bowler, medium-pacers who could bend the ball either way to their will, and they were much admired as cerebral performers who intended to outwit batsmen with craft rather than the bludgeon.

I take Hoggard over Anderson because in the two defining series of your 18-month period which are directly comparable (Aus at home, SA away), Hoggard outperforms Jimmy. 26 in 5 Tests at 25 in SA v 16 in 4 at 34; their Ashes records are pretty similar from memory although I think Hoggard still shades it (I haven't checked).
