3. I bet if he bowls in India, SL etc his figures will look a lot worser.
Agree with the rest. Swann's the best in the business right now.

English pitches turning sqaure? What BS is that? Show me one game this summer where the ball has regularly turned sqaure in england. I watch England as much as a i watch BD cricket, Swann relies on flight and length, pace off the ball rather than turn to get his wickets. In England apart from Old trafford the pitches are still more conducive to seam bowling as we have SEEN all this SUMMER rather than spin bowling. He often also gets his wickets in the first innings, where the ball does not aid the spinner as much. He is a very clever bowler. Spinners need to be mature and experience, Shakib will get this over time.
