The better spinner?

Previous poll:

Herath vs Swann

Both are upcoming spinners, and both will going to lead the spin attack of their nations soon. Swann has played 12 matches with 48 wickets at 30.4, and had played his matches on helpful tracks, but against good players of spin (other than WIndies) bar first few Ashes matches. He possesses a...

Swann easily. He was only really poor in Australia.

Herath sucked a lot of places.

Herath is reminding me of Qadir with how much he’s overrated tbh.

 

[Thala_0710]

Swann quite easily

 

[BazBall21]

Swann has poor longevity but is still clearly more accomplished.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Swann for his commentary

tbh their longevity is much closer than you’d think

 

[Johan]

Swann by a mile, he is Lyon-esque but with less longevity, Herath is like Harbhajan level

Even in Aus on flat wickets Swann managed a matchwinning fifer.

Home record. It matters too.

 

[Johan]

that's not fair at all, it's like saying Warner is over Cook because of home record.

Didn't you vote Herath over Saqlain for his home record??

His Roundness for mine. Swann was decent but very much a downhill skier.

He's also a **** of such monumental proportions that you just have to take it into account when rating him as a player. Normally this type of thing can be set aside, but in his case it oozes do prolifically from every pore of his insipid, sad, sorry frame and countenance it simply can't be. Rarely has a bloke who so reveled in and openly mocked the failures of their opponents been shown to have such a sizable but glassine jaw.

Longevity is so overrated.

Not in assessing career. Because the team benefits of several years more performance.

 

[Thala_0710]

Home record. It matters too.

I mean yeah but still. Swann obliterates Herath on match factor (1.4 vs 1.25), has a good/great record everywhere. Multiple series winning contributions away from home. Quite one sided for me

Comes under greatness for me after a certain threshold is met.
