Anderson's certainly the best both-ways swinger - that is, conventional wise - I've seen in-depth. It's his technique I'm currently attempting to copy in learning to get the ball to go both ways myself.

Waqar Younis - and Imran Khan before him - swung the new ball out prodigiously and the old ball in every bit as prodigiously. With both of them, though, you knew which way it was going to go depending on what age the ball was. That didn't, of course, make them remotely easy to play.

Pride of place, however, goes to Wasim Akram. Along with Simon Jones, oh-so-briefly, he is the only bowler I've ever seen who could swing new ball in or out and old ball in or out, to order. Just rather a shame he so often chose to bowl short with the new ball and rough it up to old quickly.
