England media day in Sydney
Monty Panesar
Australians are intrigued by the emergence of left-arm spinner Monty Panesar, who has made a bright start to his Test career.

The BBC's Jonathan Agnew asked him about his batting and fielding and Monty said: "It's important to become a multi-dimensional cricketer because in the modern game it does have an impact."

There has been plenty of talk about how Panesar will be a target for Australian fans and his need to see a sports psychologist.

The 24-year-old is relishing the battles ahead, saying: "It's nice to come to a country where there's a lot of passion for the game. I experienced hostility in India."
