Who was the best bowler of reverse swing?

[honestbharani]

Is this about Underwood or Laker?

Read this as Undertaker for some reason...

 

[BazBall21]

Akram

 

[Adorable Asshole]

Probably someone that did it without cheating

So no one

 

[Everton Seymour]

Dale Steyn ...And he used to get crazy too which was the fun part , veins pumping, snarling looks at the batsman each delivery..late in the day .. Brilliant

 

[GIMH]

Reverse swing after 12 overs on the greenest swards in world cricket. And never reproduced it again.

He never played again you dumb ****

 

[Burgey]

He never played again you dumb ****

It was the whole attack you ****wit. 12 overs in and reversing it. Not seen since the heady days of Imran, Wasim and Waqar opening the Karachi Bottletop Factory Inc.

When I think of reverse swing the first person that comes to mind is Vaas. He would get the batsmen hopping if Chameera was playing.

What about Malinga?

 

[ZK$]

Yeah, either Dale Steyn or Chaminda Vaas for me.

 

[Migara]

Reverse swing has many schools

bottle cap school
jelly bean - Murray mint school
sand paper school
nail art school
genuine school

pick where each will fit in.

Malinga was good, but he was a proper 150k bowler, where you naturally will get reverse swing. Bowlers devising out to get it at 125k instead of 135k, with legal means, are the best exponents of the art,

 

[JBMAC]

Terry Alderman and Brett Lee come to mind along with Ryan Harris

Flintoff got reverse again, Hoggard was swinging it conventionally. Also saliva was within the rules at the time so it wasn’t cheating. FACT

 

[Zinzan]

Simon Jones circa 2004 reversed it as much as anyone since the Akram/Younis days

They didn't get reverse inside the first hour again, ****. Cheats

It was well known that Chaminda Vaas used bottle caps tbh

 

[subshakerz]

Would be surprised if Vaas or Kapil didnt occasionally gouge the ball out during their younger days.

John Holder specifically named Kapil, Prabhakar, Wasim and Imran as doing it in '89 Pak vs Ind series. The pitches were very, very flat, there were no penalties and apparently they didn't really try hide it.

It didn't work though, a dull four test drawn series.
