Umpire Aleem Dar was seen to gesture to Panesar during Monday's final day, when the bowler celebrated a 'wicket' which was not awarded, and he confessed he finds it hard to keep a lid on his passion for the game.

"Perhaps I need to calm down a little, but my enthusiasm is such a key part of how I am as a cricketer," he said in the Daily Mail.

"When I saw the ball bouncing and turning so much at Old Trafford I just got carried away because it doesn't happen like that very often. But I'm definitely not trying to pressurise or intimidate the batsman or the umpire. That just isn't me.

"Aleem Dar had a word with me at one point, telling me to make sure I appealed before celebrating a wicket but I don't think he was getting annoyed with me.

"In fact, he was laughing at my behaviour. He said to me: "I know you're getting excited, just take it easy. I think most umpires know what I am like now, I've been the same since I was very young. But I've never been warned by an umpire for excessive appealing.

"Sometimes I have been told to calm down a bit but that's all. You can't play international cricket without trying to be as competitive as possible, but with me what you see is what you get -- I am always smiling and excited because I just enjoy playing so much."
