Who will be Graeme Swann's 200th Test victim?

AB de Villiers. This Test.

Swanneh to take 8-fer in the first dig, then after Jimmeh does his standard 'break-through in the opening spell', the great man will run through the Saffers like a hot knife through butter. 47 all out under threat, IMO.

All hail Swanneh!

A tail ender as per usual

Stats show that tailenders, defined as batsmen batting 8 to 11, are only Swann's 2nd best demographic. Middle order batsmen have been dismissed far more often (42% of the time compared to 30.9%. Top order batsmen make up the other 27.1%). Frankly, he has a long way to go to catch up to the current king of cleaning up the tail, tail enders make up 57.1% of Nathan Lyon's wickets.

It's the spinners job, to get out the tailenders. Those dumb ****s can play pace a bit, but they can't handle the wiles.

Lyon's great at it. Since our quicks have always been rubbish at it, we need someone to take out the tail.

Although I agree that batsmen these days are rubbish against quality spin, I vehemently disagree that spinners should be lumped into the 'clean up the tail' category of bowlers

Graeme Swann will become a professional con man and his 200th victim will be an English public school when he renegs on doing a coaching gig after demanding payment up front.
