It isn't as if Giles is a particularly great batsman. He is a useful number 8, but that's about it. I could understand it slightly more if they wanted to play, for example, Jamie Dalrymple, who is at least a proper batsman (even if probably not test standard) and about as good a spinner as Giles is. I'd still pick Panesar over Dalrymple for any match, though.
