Englishmen not seems to get enough of Monty Panesar! Here's Mike Brearly writing in 'The Gaurdian' starts off with this paragraph
What induces crowds not always known for their their lack of xenophobia to take someone who seems to be an improbable choice to their hearts? I'm thinking of the Monty Panesar effect. Here he is, a young Sikh slow left-armer, with a patka, getting a bigger cheer when he comes out to bat at number 11 for England than did Kevin Pietersen on leaving the arena with 142 to his name.Guardian Unlimited Sport | Cricket | Maverick Monty is the Manuel of multiracial Britain

The cricketing fraternity is quick to move on to prophesising about the potential future encounters (series)rather than focus on and enjoy the battles of today.
Like the battle royale that is Tendulkar Vs. McGrath.

When was the last time a player of the class of Tendulkar was raring to go like this and a bowler of McGrath's stature raring to pull out all stops to hold him.
Not in recent memory. So who's gonna win? Tell my Poll.
