Are there any bowlers active today that can swing the ball in both direction at pace. By both ways i don't mean some one with out swing getting in swing due to reverse swing. I've seen praveen kumar swing both ways but that's just about it. Does anderson swing both ways?
Heh, maybe he could hook up with Charles and Camilla?I rate PK as a swinger, incidentally. Think he deserves a go with a Duke when India come over here.
Zaheer can also swing it both ways. Although he is more of seam bowler than swing.
He can, but he still has preferences and needs certain conditions to make it happen.
ftr that sentence was meant to be purely cricket related, funny how things work out
Doesn't he only have the out-swinger? Plus with some seam/cut in. But I never seen him swing it in.Dale Steyn can move it both ways when he needs to

I may be wrong, but doesn't Zaheer have the in-swinger to the RHB (or out-swinger to the LHB)?thanks for the responses.
I'll take the forum's word on anderson, but i don't think zaheer & Steyn swing it both ways. They both have out swing, assuming they're bowling to right handers.
Was a bright moment in an otherwise dull, uneventful series.Haha remember him getting Vaughan like it was yesterday. So much lol.
With caveats. Anderson only on one of his good days (if swinging it means swinging it consistently and with control).In answer to the question, Zaheer, Praveen and Anderson are the only guys who can do it consistently I think.
Agreed. He can seam it in at very high speed, though. Of the current crop of fast bowlers, as a complete test package, no one comes anywhere remotely close to Steyn.Not sure if Steyn bowls much in-swing as opposed to just angling it in at high speed.
Absolutely brilliant in patches. The spell I remember most vividly is a magical spell of nine overs - almost all of them bowled at Tendulkar, who had already made a half-century by then (Nottingham, 2007). Sachin was beaten with such regularity that one lost count how many times. There was a moment charged with poignancy at the end of that spell when the bowler, sporting a forlorn smile, put his arms around the shoulders of the great batsman who had managed to survive.There are a few, but one name I don't expect to be mentioned here is Ryan Sidebottom. For a sadly brief period of time he was world class.
Truly magnificent.Rick Ponting clearly criminally under-rated with the ball. Check the hoop!
The time he got Vaughan was one of the most glorious moments in Ashes history. In a weaker team, he probably would have bowled more. Was no mug.
Agree. Seems to be doing just fine without it, FWIW.ftr that sentence was meant to be purely cricket related, funny how things work out
