Congrats for England’s victory against Bangladesh
G Swann took 10-217 against Bangladesh.His first 10 wicket haul in test matches.He seems to be a spinner who can adapt to all conditions just like Vettori at present.
From last year he has been in exceptional form with the ball for England.
Do you think he is the best spinner in the world at the moment in Test matches?
Chosen Answer:
You’ve hit the nail again Shiva.That’s what I have been saying all these months.He can spin the ball on the flattest of pitches,has a very delightful & energized action & he also has the knack of picking wickets in the first over of a new spell.His drifting ball is as dangerous or even better than the modern doosra.His batting,fielding & cheery attitude are also a big plus for the English team.Swann along with Pietersen & Morgan have revolutionized modern English cricket in all 3 formats.
Prem-Kumble took 10 wickets in 1 innings(along with Laker).Hundreds have taken 10 wickets in a match.
-I can’t understand why comparisions are being made with Warne,Kumble & Murali.The question clearly states at the moment.
Neilithic-Hauritz may have a better average but you can’t forget the opposition.Swann played against India & South Africa while Hauritz picked most of his wickets against a T-20 Pakistani side playing test cricket & a weak West Indian one.Swann was instrumental for drawing the series against S.A.
Hauritz also got most of his wickets due to errors made by the hard hitting test batsmen while Swann had to literally earn every wicket.
Dan hasn’t bowled well in the last 12 months while the Indians recently massacred Murali.
