The Sugababes and a big green elephant
Though Andrew Strauss received plaudits for his leadership, and Sajid Mahmood at last rose to the occasion with 4 for 22, it was Monty Panesar who made the headlines this week after once again bamboozling Pakistan in the third Test at Headingley. It was an unhelpful pitch for the spinners, yet Panesar troubled all the Pakistani batsmen in a display which had the likes of Derek Underwood licking their lips. Have England found a genuine match-winning spinner, at long last? Regardless, this was perhaps the shot of the week (it was certainly the ball of the week): around the wicket to Younis Khan, it landed on middle-and-leg stump and turned enough to brush the offstump bail. A remarkable ball, and a fine photo too
