Brearley warns Monty
Pti, London
Rookie spinner Monty Panesar should brace himself for some "racist mockery" from Australian fans who are likely to lampoon his sloppy fielding during the Ashes later this year, warns Ashes legend Mike Brearley.Panesar, the first Sikh ever to play for England, bowled well in England's six-wicket win against Sri Lanka in the second Test but his fielding left a lot to be desired. During the Test series in India, he famously dropped Mahendra Singh Dhoni in the last match in Mumbai before making amends when the Indian wicketkeeper holed out to him again in the same innings. Against Sri Lanka, he dropped an absolute sitter to reprieve Lasith Malinga. More such fumblings would make him a soft target for merciless Aussie rednecks this winter, said Brearley, now a practising psycho-analyst.
