Sajid Khan vs Graeme Swann: Who Is the Better Test Spinner?

[Katwalindian]

The title says it all both bowlers share similar off-spin actions and are known for generating excellent turn on the ball. Graeme Swann was a key figure in England’s Test success during his era, while Sajid Khan has been an important part of Pakistan’s spin attack in recent years. This comparison looks at their skillsets, effectiveness, and overall impact in Test cricket.

Swann did well on one tour of Australia - where off-spinners have generally struggled.

He and Monty also won a series vs India in India in 2012.

England used to think Swann was a world class spinner until they found a real world class spinner like in Adil Rashid.

 

[pakistani pride]

Oh bas karo. Please please.
How can you compare him to Swann?!

Quality of threads recently is declining , any after thought gets into a thread , what exactly has Sajid achieved???

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Swann is one of the best spinners of modern era. If he played on industrial fan produced wickets he would have had 3x as many wickets.

This is a weird comparison.

Won tests for Pakistan under Shan Masood, which has been tougher than anything Swann achieved in his career.

He, no doubts, gives his all
It's a different matter that he hardly gets any purchase outside of those dodgy industrial fans pitches.

Do you realise how bad is Pakistan test team and Sajid is also one the reason for that , he needs doctored pitches to become a threat otherwise he is completely docile

 

[Rana]

Swann great bowler for all conditions


Swann, Lyon, Harbajhan

Great bowlers

 

[hur rizvi]

Sajid is trash if not served with fan baked pitches

[Justcrazy]

I would suggest delete this thread . There is no comparision.

 

[sweep_shot]

Very random comparsion. LOL.

Sajid didn't play enough Tests. He only played 15 Tests and took 69 wickets.

Swann has 255 Test wickets from 60 Tests.

So, yeah. Swann wins I guess.

 

[Hellion]

Sajid is probably more talented. Also he's mentally stronger.

Doesn't mind being bald as an egg and proudly playing in front of the camera

Graeme Swann clearly had transplants around 2008 when his hair started receding significantly. Bloody mental midget

 

[BouncerGuy]

Swann and sajid???

COME ON @Katwalindian

 

[RyanRyan10]

Do you realise how bad is Pakistan test team and Sajid is also one the reason for that , he needs doctored pitches to become a threat otherwise he is completely docile

That's why I said he achieved the tougher thing to win tests for Pakistan under Shan Masood

 

[Devadwal]

There is no comparison at all. Swann all the way. .

 

[Vikram1989]

Its comparing axar on prepared turners to herath.one series or few wickets are not a measurement .

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Duncan Fletcher had some issues with Swann otherwise Swan would have been a 400+ wicket bowler

 

[Major]

Someone plz make a thread on Swann vs Adil Rashid

Someone plz make a thread on Swann vs Adil Rashid

Adil Rashid is never a test level bowler but gun spinner for limited overs.

Test - Swann
Limited overs - Rashid

Actually Rashid and Zampa are Very underrated spinners for limited overs.

 

[Hyder]

The only thing common between them is their name starts with an S.

Honestly the more sajid plays outside pak rank turners you ll realise he is nothing special and there is a reason even our domestic loi teams bench him.

I missed hafeez and malik this series thats how bad sajid and nauman were.

Hiw many wickets sajid will end up with?

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Swann great bowler for all conditions


Swann, Lyon, Harbajhan

Great bowlers

Harbhajan is not in that league.

Test - Swann
Limited overs - Rashid

Actually Rashid and Zampa are Very underrated spinners for limited overs.

They are pretty highly rated and regarded among the best white-ball spinners in the world
