Graeme Swann Profile-Images 2011

Profile:
Full Name: Graeme Peter Swann
DOB: 24-03-1979, Northampton
Specialist: Bowler
Bats: Right Hand Bat
Bowls: Right Arm Off Spin
Major Teams: Nottinghamshire

A solitary One Day match in 2000 looked like being the sum total of off-spinner Graeme Swann's international appearances. A reputation as a bad tourist and trouble-maker saw him slip down the spinner's pecking order, but a successful move from Northamptonshire to Nottinghamshire in 2005 rapidly improved Swann's prospects of a recall.
Three productive seasons at Trent Bridge saw him selected for England's ODI series in Sri Lanka in late 2007 and Swann's bowling was a major component of the away team's surprise series win. A big turner of the ball, Swann also has a good batting eye - Notts use him as a limited overs pinch-hitter - and is a sharp in-fielder, suggesting a long run in the ODI team beckoned. However, Swann was ousted by county colleague Samit Patel during 2008, although he did enough to secure a second successive Test touring spot.
His impressive Test performances in India in December 2008, when he outbowled Monty Panesar proved how quickly fortunes can change - he was soon England's first choice spinner in West Indies after Christmas, taking eight wickets in his third Test at Antigua. Swann maintained his progress against the same opposition in the first domestic Test series of 2009, cementing his place as the team's premier spin bowler. The Summer culminated in him taking the final wicket in The Oval Test match which ensured England regained the Ashes.
Swann capped off an amazing 2009 by bowling England to an innings victory over the Proteas in the second Test in South Africa. He ended 2009 with 54 wickets in the calendar year, the most ever by an English spinner, in addition to being ranked the third best bowler in the world and the number one spinner.
Swann went on to enjoy success in the shorter format of the game in 2010 when he was England's front line spinner and arguably best bowler in their victorious ICC World Twenty20 squad. He ended the year breaking many of the records he set in 2009 - he was the leading wicket-taker in Tests in 2010 with 64 scalps at an average of 25.96 and was an integral part of England's Ashes-winning side down under, becoming more of a foil for the fast-bowling exploits of Anderson, Tremlett et al. Swann entered summer 2011 second behind Dale Steyn in the ICC Test bowling rankings and as number one in the ODI version of the rankings.

Mitchell Johnson Australia Best Bowler Profile & Images 2011

Mitchell Johnson Profile

Full name Mitchell Johnson
Born October 18, 1981, Wondai, Queensland
Current age 29 years
Nickname Ritzy
Playing role Bowler
Batting style Right-hand bat
Bowling style Right-arm offbreak
Height 1.82 m
Major teams Australia, New South Wales, Queensland

Mitchell Johnson remains a once in a generation bowler more than a decade after he was first spotted by Dennis Lillee as a 17-year-old. No other fast man has been able to copy his successful left-arm method that mixes bouts of waywardness with spot-on strike-power. Off the field he is so shy that it is hard to believe he has taken on the role as Australia’s chief marksman, a weapon capable of hitting batsmen and 155kph.
An athlete who started out preferring tennis, Johnson was late to focus on cricket and suffered early in his career with four back stress fractures that almost floored him for good. He persevered, driving a plumbing van when he lost his Queensland contract, and became only the fourth Australian left-arm paceman to pass 100 Test wickets. With a strong, flowing run to the crease, Johnson can become mechanical in delivery, especially if his wrist, a long-term concern, is in the wrong position. When it’s bad, he sprays the ball on both sides of the wicket like an old-fashioned firebrand. When it’s perfect, there is probably no better bowler in the game.
The late swing at pace is a major problem, along with sharp bounce, and sometimes it’s just the angle across the batsmen that undoes them. South Africa suffered the most brutal spells in 2008-09 while England’s run-makers enjoyed his wonkiest ones during the 2009 Ashes. Whatever his mood, he has become a must-have for Ricky Ponting since debuting in 2007 – and that’s before considering his batting.
Johnson’s belief in his run-making is so strong that he would like to open in Twenty20s or one-dayers in the future, and he will always be able to claim his Test average was 99.00 after five games. His style is smooth enough for a specialist and when he nails a big swing it looks as effortless as Ernie Els on the golf course. The owner of a Test hundred and a 96, both against the might of South Africa, he will be mildly miffed if he doesn’t finish his career as a genuine allrounder.
