Spin bowlers who got the most amount of drift??

"Swann doesn't really drift it much IMO, his action doesn't really allow it"

This was your statement, and after looking at the ball drifting so much in the video, you changed it to

"barely drifted anything from over the wicket as per usual, got a fair bit of drift from round as per usual":D

The thing is that he gets drift, enough from over the wicket and a lot from round the wicket...

The second post was kind of like an edit, I'd forgotten the amount of drift he got from around the wicket because his action changes a little, but why you keep bringing him up I don't know. It's happened in two threads now, you make a thread called "spinners who get the most drift" and then you argue about some spinner who gets a bit - but no where near as much as others and you call it a victory when you get me to admit he gets some drift. I'm trying to talk about him in terms of the thread and his relevance to the topic.

Then in that "least talented" thread you crap on about Ganguly being "wrong-handed" despite the fact that people like Ed Cowan have played test cricket and clearly don't posses half the talent Ganguly has. When you make a thread like that try talking about players who are actually relevant to the discussion

The great Bill O'Reilly speaks a few words on the subject:

If you get a talented boy, say 10, 11 or 12, who knows what he is doing - and you can pick it straightaway from a mile off whether a kid has got it or not - tell him that the ball that is spinning in the air clockwise will swing away from the bat, it will go the other way in the air before it hits the ground. It is impossible to throw a new ball straight with its seam because the seam will make it move. Now if you can control swing by knowing that the offspinner is an outswinger and a legspinner is an inswinger - well you can tell that to a boy and say, "Spend an extra half hour on the dunny each day and make yourself into a good bowler. Think about it."
