unbelievable if true. Fletcher really nailing his colours to the mast. It's likely Panesar will now get his first bowl of the series when England or 3 or 4 down.

It's not going to happen but Fletcher should go after the Ashes. If he doesn't go after the WC its a disaster.

This is total BS. Honestly, what the hell? I don't think it was realistic to expect Monty to run through Oz, but I bet he'd be an awful lot more economical than Anderson. Or Harmison & Hoggard too, come to that.

It's not even that. It's the fact that he's earnt the right to play in this series, he was by far our best bowler during the summer and deserves a spot. What sort of message is it sending to Monty and other young players?

Play as well as you want but at the end of the day the old boys will always come first, regardless.

Well, lets look on the bright side, at least I can get an early night, because I'm not watching this farce:@

Why do they keep selecting Giles? He is as penetrating as candy floss.
I was looking forward to seeing Monty, and Australias can be very vunerable to quality spin.
