2010 Ash: I give a monkey I n ° 1 worldwide as long as we win the ashes says Graeme Swann

Of course, this behavior is always more easily tolerated when he accompanied the success on the ground. And you wouldn't too Graeme Swanns at your side. That would be rather drainage. It is probably preferable that the skipper [Andrew Strauss] only refers to one of his accusations like a "buffoon.

But these days Swann knows when laughter must stop, and when work should begin. Take on Saturday morning, for example. Not involved in the game three days against Victoria, he asked to report on the ground to attend certain tasks of twelfth man.

But first, he had some work Sprint break-up of lung with Jonathan Trott. Swann is a bit fitter he once. "I saw a video of myself the other day, there are a few years," he said, and I watched a porker right. You don't go to the mess our Trainer fitness Huw [Bevan]. When he said "go make a race", you just do. »

It is remarkable that it is only two years - almost day for day - that Swann made his test debut. So much has happened since. So successful. Swann makes sound just as simple: "You better get more playing test cricket", he explains. "This is exactly the same game as the county cricket; This is exactly what pressure is increased tenfold Stark place and can cause something funny to occur. Best drummers, I think, are those that deal with the test matches as if it's a knock in the rear garden and that is what I try and do so with my game of bowling.

"But it is easier since 31 and have reversed during 12 years of age." I did not have to worry about my action. I can just try to block any one except exit the bloke. »

Indeed. And that works quite well on a regular basis. Currently Swann is ranked No. 2 bowler in the world. At the end of the year, it could be # 1.

"I'm tired of telling Alastair Cook that I do not believe stats," said, "but if they're going to me then perhaps I will have to begin to believe in them." I know this might sound like a cliché, but I did not give a monkey when I am in the world, as long as we win ashes. »

And goodness England are almost this objective. Swann has a word of warning; on last year's Headingley test when the ashes were in scope and England have been shaped.

"One of the problems then," said, "has been as people began to pick up wind of the fact,"hang if win us this game, we win ashes"." The second do you... Well, the old Chinese proverb says: "one who looks at the clouds takes his eyes off the coast of the cart". »

I am not sure that it is, but the feeling is logical. "We certainly do not think that we are infallible," he said, "because we had this great victory on the South Africa in Durban [last winter] and then paused for the rest of this series." We know that we have to play some great cricket just to maintain this competitive series as it was. »

Swann will confident Perth conditions, after having played in the warm-up match it earlier in the tour against the Australia.

He overthrew rustily in the first round, but took four wickets in the second. "Whenever you have played on a field to be a massive aid," he said, "there is that some bouncing it but perhaps not beat old and you get lots of drift due to the wind." There is a slight camber field too. But I am looking forward to it. Have I not played, I would be very nervous. »

Life is rather good for Swann at this time. Identified on the list restricted to BBC sports personality of the Sunday next year. His pregnant wife Sarah has just arrived. And England 1-0 in the ash.

His parents, Mavis and Ray, also observe their first tests overseas, having been here since the first test.

They returned to England after Perth, with subordinate Swann having strict instructions to ensure the ashes are kept prior to their departure.

You suspect that it will do as his mother.
