Is Monty Panesar the new Graeme Swann?

[andruid]

He's starting a comeback to the England Test team very similar to Swann's a few seasons back. Couldn't resist really.

 

[Viscount Tom]

Should have been played more often IMO.

Personally on the subco tracks I feel he's a better spinner than Swann anyway, as he gets used to the conditions quicker.

 

[Z-Man]

Sub-Continent bowler imo.
Ravi Bopara is another sub-continent player.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Abdul Rahman and Monty will go back to being average outside these conditions. But Swann and Ajmal will remain class.

However I hope they both prove me wrong.

Tendulkar was about the 6th best player in England, 7th if I include Prior, says it all really.

Is he really necessary to bite at his cap baiting even after I ban him?

 

[ganeshran]

Panesar isnt really good enough to be a good spinner in all conditions. Since England will go mostly with only one spinner, Swann should be picked

 

[Howe_zat]

Was pretty disappointed at how Swann failed to adjust his natural wide line to the right-handers. How many lbws did we see to spinners this series? Really should have given himself that chance.

 

[Furball]

Sub-Continent bowler imo.
Ravi Bopara is another sub-continent player.

The last time Bopara played in the subcontinent he had a series that makes Bell's output this series look Bradman-esque.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Sub-Continent bowler imo.
Ravi Bopara is a sub-crap player.

Corrected.

Sorry couldn't help myself mate.
