is sreesnath the best swing bowler right now?

I am not sure he is the best, though he is one of the best at this moment. His partner in crime Zaheer might be slightly ahead of him in the running given the fact that apart from conventional swing he can also bowl reverse variety. Sreesanth is still working on that. But today the balls he bowled to Prince and Boucher was perfect for a swing bowler and that shows the talent this boy has if he keeps his mind in the right place!! Cheers! Ram

Hi shailesh, Let us not give superlative degrees to any sportsman as soon as he performs little better. Srisanth is a good baller and can swing the ball both ways. If the pitch is helpful he is effective if not he is just an average medium pace baller. Zaheer is better than him on any surface. In S.A. the performance of Sree santh improves many fold because of the helpful wickets. He has also performed well when India toured here last time.

Sreeshant swings the bowl a great deal both ways. But he a too erratic to be classified a great/best swing bowler. Let us not forget his performance in the first test before getting carried away. Hopefully he will blossom more under Zaheer & serve Indian cricket well.

O fcourse Sreesanth is a good swing bowler.He also giifted with the all alone seam position which we can rarely see in other fast bowlers.In the conditions were these seam and swing is at the top he will be a real terror to the batsmen.But the problem is that he is finding himself to find in good form.He is struggling to find his line length.In a short manner he is not consistent.He has to improve a lot.AQlso he should control his temper in the ground.

I guess still he is not that experience. But yeah he having potential to be a very good swing bowler. His today's performance was awesome. Hope he will able to improve more.

Sree is one of the gifted bowlers who can swing the ball in both ways. The problem is that he puts quite a few short or too full to be hit around making him the not-so-economic bowler. His temperament should be handled with right focus, which will help him picking wickets at crucial times, just as he has picked 5-for in this ongoing third test match against SA. Another problem and prize he has is that he can come back very strongly with good deliveries, but needs some good guidance from seniors in the team.
