Panesar eager to work with Warne

LONDON: Monty Panesar has said it would be beyond his “wildest dreams” to work with Australia great Shane Warne.
Left-arm spinner Panesar, one of the few England players to emerge with some credit following the side’s recent 5-0 Ashes series whitewash, spoke to Warne during last week’s fifth Test in Sydney and would relish the chance to be coached by the leg-spin legend.
“There have been rumours going round about England wanting to offer Shane Warne a coaching job and as a young spinner, I have to say that it would be beyond my wildest dreams to work with him,” Panesar told Monday’s Daily Mail.
“He could be an incredible inspiration to me because he has so much knowledge and experience,” the 24-year-old Northamptonshire bowler added. “I had a long chat with Warney at the end of the last Test, on Friday. It was overwhelming for me - just a young spinner - to be able to listen to him talking about the game,” Panesar, controversially left out of England’s team for the first two Ashes Tests, explained.
“He was very nice to me about it - talking a lot about technical things like the pace to bowl at, angles, stuff like that. He told me that he thought I was a good bowler, but that I had to keep improving my game,” said Panesar, who in his three Tests against Australia took 10 wickets at a shade under 38.
