The Ashes 2013 - 1st Test at Trent Bridge: Five talking points for Day 4

2. Graeme Swann

The off-spinner had to work hard on Day 4 to get his scalps as he was dismissed easily by Chris Rogers early on in the innings. He made sure that he kept it tight at the other end after the first dismissal and helped out his captain by doing the bulk of the bowling. His moment came later on in the day as he picked up two wickets in two consecutive overs. He trapped Steven Smith on the very first ball of his over, after captain Michael Clarke had been dismissed by James Anderson on the last delivery of the previous over, with a delivery that turned sharply trapping him in his crease and in front of the wickets. He dismissed Australia’s first innings hero Philip Hughes in the very next over, which was a close call but credit should be given where deserved.
