    Swann, 34, will not play in the final two Tests of the Ashes tour and will finish his career with 255 wickets at 29.96 from his 60 Tests. However, on a disappointing tour of Australia in which England have gone down 3-0 after the first three Tests, Swann has been one of the senior players who has failed to have an impact and has managed only seven wickets at 80.

    ලංකාවෙ අඩා...!
    Swann is a wonderful conventional spinner..Wonderful man with bloody fantastic humour. He and Pannersar bowled a wonderful spell of spin bowling against India at Mumbai and Culcutta to win the series coming from behind with 1-0 down. That spin partnership in Mumbai is the best conventional spin partnership I've ever seen.India was hit by a spin Tsunami...

    I think in the Adilaid test Swann's out bowled by Monty..He sensed that ..There is no chance for two spinners in MCG @ boxing day.If there were any chance for two spinners it will be the Sydney test..But Ashes is all but gone..Monty is a very good spinner but when Swann is in the limelight Monty lost whole lot of opportunities..I think that struck swanny. They don't stay in the team if they know they can't give 100% for the team they play.And he may've felt like he betrayed the country by loosing such a pathetically..He seemed very annoyed with himself in the Perth test.
    Yes,Cook may feel like stand in a middle of an endless tunnel.
    It was a devastating series so far for England,the team boasted to win Mega Ashes 10-0 (by Vaugen) and converted to win the winter Ashes 5-0 (by Bothem)..They were hit by Mitchel Jhonson. This series thought us anything can happen in Cricket..

    This whole Trott and Swann saga and confident team loosing Ashes to average Aus team on paper in three test show how tough place to win Australia is..I think Eng were flattered by Eng Ashes results and they were complacent considering Aus form and previous Ashes result 3-1 in AUS in 2010/11...
    AYUBOWAN Swanny....:yes::yes::love:

    How different the life can be...This is one of most fascinating video series on Youtube..It goes through the time of the 2010/11 Australian summer Ashes series where England won by 3-1..,3 innings wins against Aussies in their soil...How different this Ashes is..
    Swann is a ATHAL guy..:cool::cool:

    You should watch the whole series..It's patta athal....

    I watch any good Test series even though it doesn't feature Sri Lanka..Test Cricket is the best version of cricket..Watch ASHES and learn how to love test cricket..Sri Lanka's biggest treasure in cricket is our Test Status...Test cricket in Sri Lanka in dire Straits at the moment..When Sanga and Mahela with Herath are gone our Test cricket seems to be in very scary position......
    Thanks million for this thread..!:yes:
