I'm disappointed - I think we're going to miss his experience, and can't really expect all of Cook, Bell & Collingwood to reach the level we need. It also helps swing things in favour of Giles rather than Panesar, which will be a backwards step.

Well, aside from the missing experience, I don't think we're losing a lot ( ... )

I don't understand the decision to give the gloves back to Jones. What has Chris Read done wrong? What has Jones done right?

The Giles/Panesar debate is less clearcut. A reasonable argument can be made to play Giles ahead of Panesar in Australia. Any chance of Ed Joyce actually opening in the first test?

My only guess on teh Read/Jones issue is that Fletch has decided that Jones is the better batsman, and keeping ability is irrelevant, as long as you can hold the ball ( ... )
