I think in recent times Tamim was the only batsman who kinda outplayed Swann. 
Other than that Sakib also outplayed Vettori.
But Swann since 2009 has been outstanding and almost overshadowed our Sak. 
But I'm still proud of the Bossman.

About Tamim taking swannie to the cleaners - that's precisely why I think Swann is a tad overrated. Whenever Swann picks wickets, mostly batsmen try to just play through his overs without scoring at that gives him more confidence to flight the ball. But when he gets smashed, he errs a bit in flight and length. Just my views tho. The same happened when Umar Akmal attacked swann in the final test too.
About Shakib being overshadowed by Swannie, I agree, he's a little bit out of touch these days. But hadthe fielders did a bit better (eng is one of the top fielding sides) Shaks would've had better figures for sure.
Lets see how he fares vs Kiwis with the bat and more importantly with the ball.
