Ricky Ponting discusses Monty Panesar


The anticipation is growing as Ricky Ponting is discussing Australia's strategies regarding Monty Panesar. I'll be interested to see if Panesar gets selected ahead of Ashley Giles. I hope so - Giles is frankly a little boring and I want to see more of Panesar. I'm even more interested to see how Australian crowds will react to him. Australians have a bit of a racist reputation at the moment, what with Dean Jone's terrorist crack last week and our treatment of the South Africans last season. I think our racism label is warranted. We may not all be curmudgeonly bigots (although I know a few of those) but we are a conservative nation and were so even before 9/11. Hopefully we can keep our racist tone down to the usual 'Pommie bastard' taunt (which apparently is quite okay).
