Reverse Swing in Engerland

[161]

From Waqar and Wasim to Jones and Freddie - Reverse Swing has been the key to success in England !!


Jones not playing will be a HUGE blow for England and if Freddie is also not fit then they will have no one who can reverse it. Add to that a lack of a quality spinner and England will be heavily dependant on the new ball and Hoggard.


On the flip side - we have gotten a huge boost by getting Rana back. No doubt he is currently the best reverse swinger we have now. But who will support him - Razzaq can reverse it also , maybe even Asif ?

Well whatever happens in the series - the one thing you can be sure about is that reverse swing will play the key role.

I just hope beefy is commentating, we'll see a lot more reverse swing which is indeed good for the neutral

[Easa]

If Beefy is commentating, Ian Bell will also reverse the ball.

Beefy might accuse of not only ball tampering but bat tampering as well (If Afridi puts up a good show) !!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW is beefy gonna invite his mother in law......

you say reverse swing will be key - i reckon its the batting [U]that will be key - how the players from both sides cope with all types of bowling (swing, seam, reverse & spin)

[MIG]

The most important thing in all this are the prevalent weather conditions - if the weather remains warm ( good high temps) , and the pitch dries up then we should see some good reverse swing from the likes of Rana (Inshallah), Asif, Razzaq or even Sami ( both varieties)

[Rudi hater]

They all tamper with the ball. Ian Botham didn't have a clue what reverse swing was when he took Imran to court and also whole world accused Wasim/Waqar of ball tampering when they never understood what reverse swing was. All of a sudden now English and Aussie's are reverse swinging it. What reverse swing???? surely, its ball tampering??????

[pakistani pride]

Sami can reverse it inshallah he will at high speed, Rana is a master of revers swing, Razzaq also done it many times

Dont know about asif but gul deffo can do it also!
