And while we are at it, I have a trivia question.

When was the last time Realist or someone else saw Dale Steyn reverse swing a delivery away from the right-hander or into the left-hander?

Would love to know too. Have never seen him do it - again, mostly because I've never seen him need to.

Reverse swing is an art. Just because you can swing with the new ball, doesn't mean you can automatically reverse. You need to learn the skill first.

They used to have a better all round attack, I don't think they do any more. Steyn and Philander imo are a step up from any of the English bowlers, and Morkel, whilst not in the same league, is hardly a slouch either. Tahir is neither here nor there for me...Swann looks a fair bit better but he still looks like a decent spinner.

Philander is a step up from Anderson? k bro.

Reverse swing and conventional swing requires the exact same wrist and seam position.

The only way you need to learn to do it is the fact that you need to know when it's going to start reversing and when you can pin point that, you start bowling a fuller length than what you have been with it not swinging.

Yippeee!!! Lovely review.
Misbah the man to go. Huge breakthrough before stumps.

In India as well as in Bangladesh, IMO.

He mostly reverses it into the right handers and the cross seamed one holds its line. But on the odd occasion can get it to move away too, when the ball is scuffed up(Especially the SG).

Misbah gone

Great review. Don't know why the batsman would start thinking he can get away with padding up.

 

[r3alist]

Reverse swing requires damaging one side of the ball. To do that you need an abrasive pitch, unless you are suggesting tampering.

It doesn't need damage per se, just enough difference in condition between one side and the other, you can achieve this through careful maintenance, like polishing the ball, seam positions and how the fielder returns the ball, etc etc.

Beautiful

Going to need to bat bloody well, but I stand by what I said yesterday. We will win this match.

That is not out. Don't care what hawkeye says. fmd.

 

[ganeshran]

Another crucial blow by Swann. Lets see how quickly they can wrap up the tail. gul is a handy bat though

I think the art is more in the usage of reverse swing rather than obtaining it, working over the batsman with one that goes away away away then in or v. v. - because if you can reverse it one way you can in theory reverse it the other way by simplying flipping the ball in your hand

Hitting the stumps, no shot, ****

Haha Misbah. Use your bat mate.

Yeah well obv, but as in actually doing it I'm talking about.

You do realise he wasn't given out for not playing a shot, right??

 

[Jarquis]

**** yes. Great 10 minutes here. Less than 310 please.
