I am, however, starting to wonder just how sound my judgement is on this one….but I present to you, the ultimate spinning all-rounder (next to Dustbin Cricket’s King Nate, of course) Graeme Swann.
Like the cute Jack Russell puppy that just pissed on your carpet and ate your new lingerie, Graeme Swann makes it hard to hate England or English…or people with big chins who like to drive drunk.
Why? Because he has bee a revelation in the England squad. Not only does he actually set his own field and can he bat little when it matters he also just seems like an okay-ish bloke. Out of all the Poms (barring Ian Bell because no matter what they say I am convinced he is a leprechaun from Ireland) he is the guy I’d most like to sit down and have a beer with. Swann brings an element of fun to cricket and while some of his Tweets have led us to believe that he is actually also a pompous ass like the rest of them he just seems like he could be a good mate.
He once said that “he was running around like an idiot” when he was on a hat-trick for the second time in Tests.

No, no, no, no, no.
I still like you, but only just.
