Graeme Peter Swann (born 24 March 1979) is an English cricketer. He is a right-handed batsman and a right-arm offbreak bowler. He made his cricketing debut with home team Northamptonshire in 1997. Swann played a single One-day International against South Africa. Though his 2005 season couldn't top his success in 2004, where he joined the National Academy, he managed to take 30 wickets during Nottinghamshire's County Championship winning season of 2005. In 2007 Swann was chosen to accompany England on their tour of Sri Lanka as their second spin bowler, along with Monty Panesar.
