Panaswania
One of the two terms coined to describe the devastating England spin duo Monty Panesar (left arm spin)and Graeme Swann (off spin)in tandem especially after their exploits against normally good batsmen against spin - India - during the series in 2012/13.

While Panaswania is used as a noun the other term used to describe the pair are Panaswanic (adjective)

According to Rob Smyth and Andy Bull of The Guardian newspaper in UK the terms are defined as -

PANASWANIA - Dual spin carnage ie - It's all panaswania over here! 10 wickets falling to spinners!

PANASWANIC - Dual spin attack / pitch ie - It appears to be a panaswanic track

According to Ian Chappell - Panesar and Swann have the ability to match the previous deadly spin due of Jim Laker and Tony Lock who plied their trade in the 1950s. "However, they do have one major problem. They need to unearth a fast-bowling allrounder to occupy the No. 6 or 7 batting spot so they can retain the deadly spin combination of Graeme Swann and Monty Panesar. This pair has the capacity to be the modern version of Jim Laker and Tony Lock for England, and every stone should be overturned in order to ensure they can work as a pair rather than as single entities." http://www.espncricinfo.com/magazine/content/story/597213.html
