The Breakfast Panesar Petition

James Bridgeman | 12:27 UK time, Tuesday, 5 December 2006

Monty PanesarHere at Breakfast this morning, we witnessed the shocking defeat of England in the second Test at Adelaide as it unfolded in front of us. Mark Pougatch had the dubious privilege of describing England's death throes as they were cornered and poked with a stick, first by Shane Warne, then by Mike Hussey.

What's to be done? If all your texts and emails are to be noted, there is an answer out there - and he's currently ferrying the drinks out onto the field.

So here we launch our Five Live Breakfast Panesar Petition. We want Monty in the side for Perth, and no more excuses.

Rumour has it that the pitches for the remaining Tests are set to be as docile for the seamers as Adelaide was - and England must be able to take 20 wickets in a match to stand a chance of retaining the Ashes. Just ask Geoff Boycott.

So are you with us, or against us? Will you sign our Panesar Petition?
