Graeme Swann has rubbished claims that domestic pitches are to censure for an apparent miss of international-class English spinners.

Reports on Wednesday suggested a England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) is deliberation scrapping a toss in Division Two matches subsequent deteriorate to try and revoke a series of seaming wickets.

The idea is that groundsmen would therefore ready pitches that would accommodate a skills of some-more players and presumably reinstate a purpose of a spinner in a four-day game.

Swann thinks a emanate is a red herring.

‘If we are going to be good adequate to play on general cricket you’ve got to be means to play on anything,’ he said.

‘If we demeanour all around a universe and a proceed a Indian spinners spin it and a Aussie guys who spin it they all impel it in their hands and give it a unequivocally large slice and get a round adult and out and fizzing down. Finger spinners here usually don’t do it.’

Swann’s possess arise to England ranks was built around a mostly educated process that centred around giving a round a slice and in spin removing a deposit and rebound to dope world-class batsmen.

‘I watched a lot of cricket on TV and always had sincerely large hands so we always found it easier to spin it off my second knuckle rather than a first,’ he said.

‘I didn’t listen to coaches either. Looking behind my biggest strength was that whenever people attempted to change my hold I’d curtsy and grin and consider ‘well that doesn’t work, that doesn’t spin it enough’ and omit them.

Swann is open to a probability of an proceed from a ECB to assistance learn immature English spinners, adding: ‘I wouldn’t contend no if they asked me to go and re-write a manual.’

Swann believes Moeen Ali comes closest to replicating a big-turning character of spinners around a universe – given he too has mostly avoided a coaches – and has labelled him as England’s best choice in Test ranks during present.

‘Moeen Ali does it given he’s not unequivocally been coached,’ he said.

‘He’s unequivocally healthy and that’s since we consider that, notwithstanding a detractors, he is a best choice we have in Test cricket during a notation in terms of spin.

‘People should demeanour during Mo and demeanour how he rams it in and spins it off that second knuckle and gets good deposit and dip. If you’re not removing deposit and drop afterwards you’re no bloody good.’
