Panesar’s delight at England comeback
FORMER Luton Town & Indians spinner Monty Panesar was delighted to make his England comeback in second Test against Pakistan in Abu Dhabi yesterday.
Panesar bowled a marathon 33 overs on his first day of Test cricket since 2009, bowling opener Mohammad Hafeez.
He said: “There was a bit of nerves flying around, but I was really pleased to be back.
“Hafeez was a nice wicket to get after I dropped him the ball before.
“All spinners try to say we meant it but I think it just hit the leather and skidded on.
“From my end there was a bit of turn and we had the right-handed batsmen in play, so the ball turning away helped.”
“The whole bowling unit did a fantastic job.
“Swanny bowled really well with the second new ball and Jimmy (Anderson) and Stuart Broad upped the ante.”
