Not that much.

Not that much.

My apologies...I was watching matches on tv back in the day with very cloudy display, so I thought that the ball was talking in the air.

More off the pitch.

The ones who I think were consistently swinging it a long way were Anderson, Imran and Steyn.

 

[Arachnodouche]

At high pace, Gillespie and Steyn. But Gillespie did it from the hand, Steyn's was appreciably late swing. Edit: Damien Fleming too.

Steyn was late more due to the angle of where he bowled.

Wasim Akram

Wasim Akram

Akram was more late swing. I think Imran got more overall lateral movement on average thanks to his action (just inswing).

I don't think so. Imran would sometimes get those hooping in swingers but so could Wasim (just look at his year 2000 tours of SL and WI incredible swing in the air). Also Imran's more lethal in dipper would come in off the seam a long way usually.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Steyn always got his outswinger to swing a mile. Often in conditions where others weren't getting much movement.
