Warne The Best Ever But Will Monty Be Better?
Australian legend Shane Warne is all but certain to take over 700 test wickets before retiring and William Hill offer 100/1 that England spin sensation Monty Panesar will eclipse Shane and take more test wickets in his career.
Monty is offered at 8/1 to take 10 wickets in the 4th test and is 14/1 to be man of the match.
"Monty is still very young and with a far busier fixtures list in the modern age there is a genuine chance that Monty could become the greatest," said William Hill's spokesman Rupert Adams.
Australia are 5/6 to win the series 5/0 but all eyes will be on which England player will be permanently etched in the record books as Shane Warne's 700th victim with William Hill offering 11/2 that it will be Paul Collingwood and 6/1 that Ian Bell will be the man.
