http://www.senore.com/Cricket/GP-Swann-c1501 not to compare himself with Murali or Warney – Cricket News Update
Team England’s specialist off-spinner, Graeme Swann, asserts that he cannot compare himself with the former spin stars like http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625) Test
and ODI rankings.
Remember, Murali of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 earned 800 and 708 Test wickets respectively before quitting their International careers.
Swann considers himself lucky enough to have sealed a berth in the ace cricket team of the world. He claims that he is quite happy and satisfied with what he has gained so far.
Talking to the media today, the English bowler said, “I've had two or three fairy-tale years, but I don't think I'm a Muralitharan or a Warne. I think I'm good at what I do, and I'm lucky to play in an exceptional team that allows me to do it, but at the
end of the day I'm an off-spinner.”
Swann professes that he is at the ‘right place at the right time’. The spin master has also applauded the Decision Review System (DRS), which he believes, has lent a great hand to him in grabbing so many wickets over the years.
He told, “But I was lucky to be in the right place at the right time, partly because of the way the
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 team came together, and also because technology favoured me. The DRS [decision review] system meant that all of a sudden I was getting a lot of lbws that for years spinners hadn't been given.”
Being the only full-time spinner of his team, he commands great respect and his contribution always powers England to win. Chin has brought home many titles and trophies since his International debut in 2000. The stylish bowler is impressive in all three
formats of the game.
Apart from being a precious asset, he is also possesses an excellent sense of humour.
The 32-year-old has played 36 Test, 65 ODI and 27 T20I games so far, bagging 153, 90 and 34 wickets respectively.
