All bets are off!! Monty WILL win Sports Personality 2007
An enthralling day at the WACA has left us all, whether Pom or Aussie, imagining what could have been.
Had England's hitherto idiotic selectors had a little more bottle than timidly playing a squad in Brisbane and Adelaide with the intention of RETAINING the Ashes then we might not have been in this dire situation.
For the Aussies, they're left thanking their lucky stars that we had a selection squad as inept as our players in the first two games.
Monty's fivefer came at a time where confidence in England's bowling attack couldn't have been lower. His inclusion seemed to brighten the spirits of all the players around him, and as a result even Freddy looked like he knew what he was doing.
The joy Monty brings to the game is boundless, whether watching or playing with him, I imagine that he is an infectious character. His demeanour today was in direct contrast to the times we have seen him glum-faced waiting near the boundary rope to bring the isotonics on-field.
His haul today, the third best by an Englishman, is a couple of fingers in the direction of the selectors - whoever does and doesn't select the team - and a big thumbs up to those who love him... Bring on the second innings....
The inclusion of Saj Mahmood is certainly another positive step for England. His batting on the tour so far silences those that encourage batting down the order, and his bowling today, although wicketless was quick and spritely by all accounts.
