I think this is the first Ashes related poll so far. here goes. Who do you thing will take more wickets over the Ashes 2010-1011 tour.

Both to play at Sydney perhaps, or is it no longer such a Bunsen?

Hauritz will presumably take more wickets, doesn't make him the better bowler though. Monty took 100 Test wickets in pretty good time.

The point of playing Panesar on a Bunsen along with Swann despite the fact that hes proven categorically to be rubbish on them belies logic if you ask me.

Could see both of them struggling to get a gig, actually. Judging by the sparing way he used him in the first test and the uber-defensive fields he set for him in the second (or allowed Hauritz to set for himself, if one's inclined to believe him and I'm frankly not) I don't much think Ponting fancies Doogie's bowling just now.

I voted for Panesar without reading the first post. Hauritz will take more wickets because he'll be playing a lot more games.

patel is better than both
I'd say all three are equally crap. None of them have the ability to do the main job of a test spinner and be a consistent wicket-taking threat againts good batting sides on a turner/wearing 5th day wicket.

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.
