England rediscovers the joys of Spin Bowling

Phenomenal success ofMonty Panesar has guided Enland to a 3-0 sereies win against West Indies. Monty Panesar picked up 23 wickets at 19 apiece to show once again that spinners can perform well in English conditions. His 2006 summer exploits against Pakistan further confirm the same fact.

So have England finally found a match winner in Panesar? It seems that they certainly have. An impressive part of his bowling has been to consistently attack the stumps which gives him maximum chances of picking up wickets in comparison to his teammate Ashley Giles who was critised for bowling a negative line. One thing is for sure that if panesar keeps bowling some of those perfect balls, which got him the wicket of Denesh Ramdin, he certainly is a very bright future for England.

Does this make him the best finger spinner in the world? Better that Daniel Vettori and Harbhajan Singh? This question is yet to be answered. But who knows if there is another wonderful performance in the forthcoming series against India, having some of the best players of spin bowling, the question will certainly have a positive answer.
