The general assumption after Monty Panesar's demolition job in the second Test at Old Trafford was that Headingley would be filled to the brim with local Asians eager to catch a glimpse of England's new hero. But, as Owen Slot reports in The Times, the influx has been nothing of the sort.
Like a certain village in Gaul with an Asterix against its name, the stands at Headingley Carnegie seem immune to any invasion. We may have had Pakistan in the field and a Monty and a Sajid in the England dressing-room, but out there in the crowd, multi-culturalism has yet to catch on
