Best batsmen against swing

[FischerTal]

In Wasim Akram's autobiography, he mentions four batsmen who had the best reflexes to play swing bowling and most difficult to bowl to. they are rahul dravid, brian lara, aravinda de silva, and martin crowe.(Source: Wikipedia) Who out of these 4 do you think was the best batsman of swing bowling?

brian Lara.

[thongale]

Dravid against conventional swing. Aravinda is the father of them all against reverse swing.

[Muloghonto]

Quite easily, Martin Crowe.

[Vanarp22]

Dravid, Dravid, Dravid, Dravid, Dravid.

[The Outsider]

After the 2011 series in England, it is undoubtedly Dravid. Crowe comes a close second.

[Robelinda]

Crowe easily for me. But i doubt many here wouldve seen much of his dominance against all types of swing.

[Robelinda]

also have to add, Mark Taylor dominated Pakistan more than most during his career, hammered them. He had almost no problem vs Wasim Akram.

[Robelinda]

check these stats, you will be surprised. averaged 80 vs pak in oz, 77 vs pak in Pak. His batting during the two Pak tours to Oz in 89 and 95 was awesome, in 89 Wasim had no idea how to get him out. Ive uploaded a video of the MCG test ball by ball showing one of Wasim's spell vs Taylor. http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/player/7924.html?class=1;opposition=7;template=results;type=batting

I enjoyed David Boon batting against swing bowlnig. Especially outswinger from Kapil he middled almost every single ball precisely.

After the 2011 series in England' date=' it is undoubtedly Dravid. Crowe comes a close second.[/quote'] Dravid can write a book on how to play swing bowling. Nasser Hussain kept emphasizing the point how both English ( for a brief period they struggled too against swing) and Indian player should learn from Dravid.

Yeah but Boon was made to look like tailender vs Pakistan, especially vs Wasim Akram.

[Robelinda]

Even Mitch Johnson troubled Dravid a lot.
