In an interview with an online betting company Panesar had urged England’s players to: “Say something like, ‘I don’t think it’s ethical that he’s the captain. I don’t think he played the game fairly.’ Really get into him and make him feel guilty about it. Make him feel like, ‘They’re probably right, I shouldn’t be here, I shouldn’t be doing this.’ This is where the UK media must also focus and put pressure. Use it as a way to help England. If it were the opposite, the Australian media would be all over it. They would have said, if it was any of the English players, ‘the cheaters have arrived.’ Right?”

Well. What a toerag, Panesar. It's a game, it's a cultural link, it's not win at any price. You shouldn’t be doing this.
