August 14th 2006 12:12
The Ashes talk continues, with Ricky Ponting this time pointing out the much talked about English spinner Monty Panesar, who has began his test career at home remarkably during the current test series against Pakistan. Ponting highlighted Panesar's ability to take wickets, in comparison to former English spinner Ashley Giles, stating that Panesar 'can actually do both - keep it reasonably tight if needed and when it starts to turn a bit more, he can bowl some pretty handy deliveries as well'.
However, Ponting also threw a bullet at Panesar by commenting on his inability to perform highly with the both the bat and in the field. Ponting actually stated that he saw the spinner, 'run away' from a high ball in the field, when England was touring in India recently.
With the aggressive style of play shown by openers Matthew Hayden and Justin Langer, I'm sure that Panesar with have his skills tested. Either way, the Ashes is shaping up to be another thriller - or another whitewash...
