Melbourne: Monty Panesar, the controversial England cricketer, found himself in yet another controversy when a young American girl accused him of tempting her to his hotel room hours after humiliating Ashes defeat to Australia.
While England cricket team has yet to feel the hit after 0-5 Ashes wash out, Monty Panesar, known for courting controversies, put shameful defeat behind him and tried to lure a blonde to his room at the team's hotel.
