Montey Panesar : I did not bat like Yuvraj Singh



Montey Panesar the Ashes Hero who played extraordinary cricket to save the first Test against Australia.The match was in such a situation that Australia were so close to win,but then came the hero to crease no other than Montey Panesar.He along with James Anderson played faced 69 balls in 40 minutes to save the Test matches. This innings of his will surely go in to the record books of Ashes as one of the greatest innings under pressure.

Montey Panesar said that he did not bat like India's swash buckling Yuvraj Singh.He told that Paul Collingwood helped him a lot for his batting and h is a very good buddy for him.He told that he is extremely happy for his effort with than bat and continue his good work with the bat.

Ashes 2009 | Ricky Ponting angry with England tactics



Australian Captain Ricky Ponting fumes and he has asked the England Team to play under the "Spirit of the Sportsmanship".The Ashes 1st Test has started really well and England players played really well to save the match.All credit goes to Paul Collingwood who played really well and the last wicket partnership James Anderson and Panesar for staging a remarkable partnership,but hold on for a second I need to mention about the awful and wicked tactics used by England to save the test.

England physiotherapist appeared on the field without players calling him.This did not happen once but twice just to while away time so that England could inch closer to a remarkable draw.This was not the only case since England 12th man made an uninvited appearance to the field just to while away the time.I feel these are cheap tactics by England.There was a huge sigh of relief and smirk in England camp after they staged a big comeback and managed to draw the first Ashes test.
