Monty Panesar's haul apt reward for work behind the scenes There were hundreds queueing outside the gates of the stadium hoping to get a glimpse of Tendulkar in what is likely to be his last Test in Mumbai, but many were still not in the ground when his innings ended. "During the last few net sessions I have tried to get my action right and worked hard with Mushy [Mushtaq Ahmed, England's spin-bowling coach]," said Panesar. The previous ball I remember I got my action wrong and so I wanted to make sure the next ball I got it absolutely right and went through all the processes I worked on with Mushy. It seemed to click. I got my action right, got my fingers nicely round the ball and the things I was working on all came out nice. For me he is the Prince of India. To get Sachin Tendulkar, I was delighted. Tendulkar was Panesar's first Test wicket on his debut in Nagpur six years ago but the spinner has not been an overwhelming success in India. His troubles started young with an under-19s tour here in 2001 on which he took four wickets at 80. In Test cricket his 11 wickets in this country before this match had cost 55 and he admitted he is still learning how to bowl in India at the age of 30. "Mushy has been invaluable," he said. He has played a lot of cricket in the subcontinent and really knows the game out here. He helps us in terms of how to understand the type of cricket Indians play. You have to adjust to that and the conditions such as the crowd noise and the heat. All that comes into play when you are a spin bowler. You have got to adjust to the flamboyant shots they play. You have to just accept that and bowl the next ball. Panesar applauded England's first-day efforts. I thought we stuck at it really well out there. We put a lot of pressure on the Indian batters early doors, which is something they probably didn't expect," he said. They won the toss, looked to have a bat and probably thought maybe they'd only have a few wickets down for 200-plus but we applied a lot of pressure to them and having five wickets down really early was a testament to how we did that.
