I have seen him rip it, but the batsman padded it away, the umpire gave the batsman the benefit of the doubt as it was prior to DRS.

To compare Rashid or any spinner to players prior to DRS is a silly.

How many wickets would Swan have got without the assistance of DRS?

Most modern batsmen know that if they use their pads these days they may well be given out under DRS.

The days of thrusting the pad out are long gone and Croft would have take a bucket load more wickets if DRS was available.
