There are plenty of fast bowlers out their who can swing it, Steyn, Vaas, Sharma, Johnson (at times), Lee, Southee and Gillespie along with many others can swing the ball particularly well.
Swing bowling is well and alive.
DoubleO7;321079 said:Not really. Sharma is more of a seam bowler and Johnson is all angle, mostly.
Which Gillespie are you referring to?
DoubleO7;321096 said:Gillespie is a dud, I'll give you Kallis and Flintoff will more likely seam then swing the ball unless given swinging conditions.
Reverse swing not included.
Mousey;321101 said:Judging on what I have seen recently one could argue reverse swing is now eclisping swing.
DoubleO7;321112 said:Anderson is a dud, his stats speak for themselves.
grapedo;321211 said:I wish you would stop saying everyone is a 'dud'.
Anderson is far from a dud he was actually one of the better bowlers lat year.
Wicket wise Anderson was the 7th best bowler in the world last year. He picked up 46 wickets @ 29.84 that is far from being a dud.
He gets good pace and swing he is a good quality player.
DoubleO7;321577 said:...and one of the most inconsistent bowlers in world cricket.
DoubleO7;321126 said:Interesting point you guys make about reverse swing bowling. Anyone got any ideas why?
grapedo;321700 said:Early in his career he was but lately he has been very consistent.

Mousey;321706 said:Reverse swing is the new phenomenon. The Poms beat the Aussies with it and everyone caught on and forgot about normal swing. Reverse swing is also more common than genuine normal swing these days.
