Has Graham Swann bowled too well for his own good

Graham Swann's three wickets (so far) in South Africa's second innings take him to 52 test wickets for the year; I believe that he is the first England spinner to achieve this landmark. Unfortunately it looks as though he will be stranded on 452 runs and so not make the 500 runs and 50 wickets double that looked a possibility a day or so ago.

In 2009 Graham Swann has averaged 45.2 with the bat and 28.25 with the ball; is he England's all-rounder? By comparison Stuart Broad has (so far) taken 46 test wickets in 2009 at an average of 28.43 and has a batting average of 25.35.
