Nearly as bad as Giles over 6 years and 45 games @ 37 a wicket.
But Aus have always had options, we haven't. It's Giles or no-one.
I'd rather have Peter Such than Batty.

From a non australian perspective one would have to say that they prefer lee to be out of the team given his form in recent times and the insipid form of two of australias pacemen. So from an aussie perspective one would definantly want lee in the side.

Which is a completely different kettle of fish.

For a start, how often does Giles bowl on a pitch suited to him?
 

Barney Rubble

International Coach
As an Englishman, I voted out, not just because he's good - if I was neutral I'd vote out too.

One day he IS going to kill someone with a beamer. The one he bowled to Trescothick the other day was disgusting and lethal. I don't care if he doesn't mean it - other bowlers can control themselves, he should be able to as well.

Other bowlers of the calibre of waqar younis, Shoiab aktar and harmison as well?

Never.

No pitches are allowed to be bad enough. :laugh:

I suppose he may have picked up a tailender on that Mumbai track where Clarke bowled out India.
