    Parmesan Tony

    By Will 2 years ago, mid-May Leave a comment on this post

    I’m on a mission. Monty Panesar’s name is so brilliant that we need to change it, and Parmesan Tony is as good a replacement as I can think of. The fact it’s an anagram of his real name makes it all the more valid. More on Big Tone here.

    Spread the word. People will be chanting Tony! Tony! Tony! at the MCG later this year (although half of the crowd might just be calling for another Tony, Tony Greig, to break some busting moves during his pitch reports).

    Also, in a fit of boredom I’ve just discovered Monty Panesar is also an anagram of Amnesty Apron.

    Typical, the British find it hard to accept that their best spinner has no British name (even worse, it’s an Asian name!). Hey, let’s just call him Uncle Tom!
