England off-spinner Graeme Swann is looking forward to this summer's meeting with India, saying for him, it will be the completion of a remarkable cycle.
Hard though it is to believe, it was only two-and-half years ago that Swann made his Test debut in Chennai -- creating an instant impression by dismissing Gautam Gambhir and Rahul Dravid in his first over.
"I've certainly enjoyed a halcyon period," said Swann. "In some ways it seems a lot longer than two-and-a- half years, but I've loved every minute of it and I could probably recall every wicket if I tried hard enough.
"As a team, we've won two Ashes series in that time, and a first in Australia for more than 20 years, so I think that says a lot about what we've done and where we've come from," he added.
