[QUOTE="Prestwick, post: 91065"] I thought it was the other way round. That Jones was picked initially because he was good with the bat to make up for his awful keeping and Read was good with the gloves but awful at batting! I totally agree with Bok on Panesar. We needed someone to not just hold up the other end and keep things quiet for the pace attack to do some damage, but to go on the attack themselves on the other end. If we had Panesar doing some really aggressive bowling while Hoggard and Flintoff toil away on the other end that might have starved the Aussies of opportunities and forced them into taking some risks. Instead all we had was Giles bowling round the wicket again! [/QUOTE]
