Let's be honest: England have never replaced him. And they won't challenge top test teams until they have an aggressive, match-winning spinner in their XI.
watching Swann reminds me just how deadly an off spinner can be, creating chaos for the batsmen. not knowing if the ball is going to turn or not, whether to play or not, attack or leave, just the epitomy of attacking spin bowling. pure mind games, what a pleasure he was to watch. these days we have such defensive spin bowlers who just try and not get taken out of the attack, completely misses the point of having a spinner in the team. of course you need to be able to spin the ball like he did to pull it off, though
The balls he bowls that take wickets aren’t the best balls. It’s the balls before that worry the batsman and cause them to make a silly mistake. The best balls in this video are the ones against Khawaja and Patterson in the second innings. Such a good bowler
Just imagining how good that bowling attack would have been against this current australian team, absolutely staggering,,, equally the old australian bowlers against this English team.... although I'm trying not to think of that one
I don't understand how the Phillip Hughes LBW was given as umpires call. That is a blight on the game. DRS should consider that smashing leg stump. It's absolutely knocking that stump out of the ground.
England won that Ashes series 3-0. They could have won it by 4-0 if Aleem Dar didn't make a stupid decision of calling the play off early when England needed 21 runs off 24 balls with 5 wickets in hand
@@theextraordinarypower2265 yeah, don't know why the poms get thrashed so badly in Australia. I mean they are not Zimbabwe, they have world class players, still losing 5-0
1. This wasn't turning square 2. You saw a handful of deliveries in this video, this doesn't show the full picture of a pitch 3. The pitch in Ahmedabad was absoltuely terrible. Not even the Indian batsmen could deal with it (barring Rohit) 4. People shouldn't complain about pitches turning square because they provide probably the most interesting test matches
If there are so much turn in india they will complain now look at this pitch that to home of cricket the great kp and Micheal Vaughan ur comments on this 🙏
Though I consider that batsmen were at full fault in the 3rd Pink ball Test at Motera, but the pitch was also not upto it's standards. The 1st day had given us lot of possibilities on how this pitch will behave on Day 2 that too in balance. But 2nd day had destroyed all that balance. Unlike here, for 1 1/2 days the pitch had assisted pacers as well. Ryan Harris had picked up a 5-fer, Ian Bell had hit 106 with Root's 50 and Bairstow's 67. Things changed a bit when Aussies came out to bat as pitch gave a sharp turn but.... in balance to a limit. Even after the Oz collapse Joe Root scored a sublime 180* though spinners kept taking scalps. Nevertheless the infamous Motera 2021 is the past now. And the wicket on Lords is not always like it was in 2013... So leave it....
@@anishpadhye7006 yeah, England had a great spinner that time, so they could afford the luxury of preparing a track at Lord's that could help spinners from day 2
@@James-mh6fn I accept that the pitch for the pink ball Test was not fully 'doctored' as you say while the Lord's pitch used for this Test was way better than our Motera pitch. Because it's THE LORD's!!! But even though the ball did turn more prodigiously on the end Day 4 when Pattinson had started batting with Ryan Harris during his amazingly stubborn knock of 35(91 balls), the ball was doing the movement for the spinners on day 2 when Graeme Swann picked those vital 5 scalps to bundle out Australia for 107. And as you say that the ball turned from Day 1 in the Motera Test, for some time I may consider that to be true. But if you delve inside day 1 even more deeper you may find that the ball turned till lunch when English innings collapsed on 112. But in the twilight period Anderson, Broad and Archer bowled just superbly (though they didn't get much wickets) and till the half session 3 it helped the seamers also a bit. But the degradation began on the last hour of Day 1 when Jack Leach came in. Chunks of soil came out of the pitch and day 2 was just it's aftermath. The pitch is to be blamed. But the technique of both the team's batsmen is also to be blamed. The batsmen didn't think the pink ball to turn so ragingly. It turned because of the help it got from the wicket. Axar's and Leach's armers, Ashwin's guile and Joe Root's surprising 5-fer were the key points to these collapses...
