    Job done.

    Pietersen and Vaughan can do the spinners role.

    Persuade Thorpey back for a swansong

    Drop Bell.

    Trescothick, Strauss, Vaughan, Thorpe, Pieterson, Flintoff, Jones, Giles, Jones, Hoggard, Harmison

    Giles is the best spinner we have like it or not and he doesn't make a bad No. 8.

    Flintoff cannot bat at 6 against the Aussies.

    The answer for me is...

    Paul Collingwood, I think he's an excellent player, plus a great fielder.

    Thus ,

    we cant have him coming in at 6.

    It doesnt make any sense.

    Read can bat at 8 , I dont care if Giles is our best spinner , we need an extra bat at the moment , plus we bowled the Aussies out twice without Giles contributing.

    Nor do I to that extent...

    But he could be a useful partnership breaker I reckon...

    And I'd play him just for his batting and fielding anyway.
