I forgot to mention this, but Rodney Hogg categorically stated on Melbourne Radio last week (or was it the week before), "England will win the Ashes in 2009". Based solely around Monty Panesar. (Given he was just coming of a 7 wicket haul against NZ).
He makes a good point though - for the first time in about 20 years, England will have the advantage over Australia in the spinning stakes and will be in a position to prepare turning pitches. India will testify to how Australia, particular the middle order, struggle in these conditions.
4 comments so far...:
thats a big one...to say...but I think the last Ashes was won on basis on some reverse swing rather than spin...but Monty is surely an asset no doubt...
Hogg's an idiot !
I think England will beat Australia next summer, but not based on Monty - based on KP.
Excellent blog by the way, if you get a chance to email me - please do so.
Thanks!
