    Playfair Cricket Annual 2008

    By Will 6 months ago Leave a comment on this post

    Monty Panesar is this year’s victim on the front cover of the Playfair Cricket Annual. It’s always interesting to see who is chosen and, more often than not, it’s a bit of a poisoned chalice. It’s out on April 3 and available to pre-order for a mere £4.89.

    I find it incredible that the hugely overrated Panesar should get on the front cover that has been graced by so many outstanding cricketers over the years. Whoever chose him must have fallen into the trap that many others have who hero worship this distinctly average county cricketer.
