Trend Breakers- 5 bowlers who did well Away but struggled at Home

#4- Graeme Swann 23%

Graeme Swann of England

England has long been a land of seam and swing and hence, one of their most successful spinner featuring on this list, makes sense. In almost 60 years, no English right-arm offspinner other than Swann has managed to go past Jim Laker's mark, and that in itself is a nod to Swann's adaptability and longevity.

No English bowler had more wickets than Swann in the period he played in. Mind you, his career coincided with the peaks of the likes of James Anderson and Stuart Broad.

With pacers doing most of the damage in England, Swann only bowled on average 20 overs an innings at home, with his workload rising to 28 overs an innings elsewhere. While he snared 2.1 wickets an innings in England- an impressive statistic itself, he had an extra wicket every two innings while touring, with his wicket-taking abilities peaking in spin-friendly Asia, where he has more than 3 wickets an innings.
