Top 5 English Test spinners of all time

#2 Graeme Swann

Graeme Swann

Graeme Swann had to wait until he was almost 30 to get his first Test cap for England but once he did, the right arm off-spinner became an integral part of the side and went on to become one of the world's top spin bowlers in a relatively short career.

Swann was an extremely crafty off-spinner, who depended not on the flighted delivery, but instead on sharp turn, loop and accuracy. His presence in the England side saw them go on a winning run that culminated in them becoming the world's number 1 Test side. In a career that lasted five years, he played 60 Test matches and picked up 255 wickets at an average of 29.96. In addition to that, he had a pretty decent strike rate of 60.1.
