If they played the same amount of games I'd say Panesar, but from a England point of view, I hope I don't see Monty, apart from bringing out the drinks.

I have this strange theory that Monty will rout a local Aussie XI in a tour match and buy an additional 2 or 3 tests (aside form the Sydney test where he is the automatic 2nd spinner) on the back of that,whilst Hauritz will be limited to 2-3 wickets a test on the back of being the 'obvious' threat. Hence when all is said and done, Panesar might edge the wicket tally by 1 or 2.

Its an absurd theory dependant on 2 big ifs I know, but I cannot completely remove it from my mind :)

To complete the absurdity of my vote is that I suspect Michael Clarke can bowl better than people think, and he could mop up a few tails here and there, getting his overall Ashes wicket tally past Hauritz. Its highly unlikely I know, but not totally impossible
