Asad, reverse swing is also a function of wrist position and backward spin. Mash tends to bowl cutters which means he tends to roll his fingers down the front of the ball. Plus he prefers a back of good, length. This is why he rarely gets much swing unless it's a brand new cherry. Rajib bowls a much fuller length (when he's not banging it in short) and slides his fingers down the back. So he was always more likely to swing it.
At least that's my take on it from watching on the telly.
