Panesar must play in next match what a pathetc reason Fletcher gave-we picked Giles so we could bat down to No 8-he's a bowler for god's sake
Hmmmmm Looking at the score card for England's 2nd innings it would appear they can't bat down to number 8, or infact as far down to number 1!
Fletcher should stick to making bread. "Saj Mahmood can play a major part in the ashes". "Monty is bowling as well as any spinner in the world". "Chris Read deserves his chance". He may be a blatant homosensual - but I'd go with Airy's 4-0 prediction.
RE: Fletcher Has His Favourites With Giles And Jones. it should never be about favouritism. it should be who the best player his at doing his job, ie. panesar- BOWLING, why does he need to bat, thats wh yyou have batters
