I cant wait for him to come back. England are in desperate need for him.

But now, they have sidebottom!
Sidebottom has been around for a while Jones is a promising talent. You cant judge a whole team on a perfomance against a completely dire team. (the West Indies)

Jones is 28, and has been playing FC for 8 years you know.

What I mean is Jones is a much better player than sidebottom. You can not judge a whole player on one particular perfomance.

I have just said the exact same thing to Nishant in another thread, I totally agree

Regarding the thread title - London is just one city NOT a country, therefore you should've addressed it to England fans. Thank you.
On a slightly similar note: my sis went to Bath on Saturday & saw a bride getting out of a stretched Beetle, then head into wherever it was the reception was being held. Next to her were a couple of American tourists. One turned to the other and said 'Well, now I can say I've seen a wedding in London!', then walked off, leaving my sis looking incredulous!

Which is pretty much what people are doing in regards to Simon Jones after his 2005 Ashes heroics.

People have to seriously stop talking about Simon Jones already, it's nearly been two years since he's played and I doubt he'll ever play for England again and even if he did I doubt he'll reach anywhere near his 2005 form and even if he did, he's the type of player that will be injured again five minutes later. If he goes on to have a successful career it will be a massive surprise and bonus, but I don't think I have ever seen this much fawning for something that's probably never going to happen, ever. Get over it ffs. Saj next week please.

apparently jones has had a setback. lots of knee swelling and even if this did noy happen the likleyhood was that he wouldnt play this summeranyways glamorgan had orders from the ecbthat jones must have a 10 day break after each championship match he plays. hopefully hell play again but i dont see him pullin on a england shirt anytime soon

I'd almost prefer Simon to Saj regardless, TBH.

Sort of. Jones, to date, has still done more than Sidebottom. Sidebottom's had 1 good game, Jones had 2 sensational first-innings performances and a good year or so beforehand of showing some signs that he had the potential to do what he did in 2005.

I've said it in a couple of threads already but I'll say it again. I'm no expert but I saw him at the county ground the other week and he looked like he belonged anywhere but on a cricket field. Also given that his knee has swollen after his rest period I'd be very shocked if you see him much this whole summer for Glamorgan never mind for England.
From what I read in the papers it is true that he is struggling again. Considering his injury record (and his father's career get wrecked by injury too) I hope Moores and Vaughan are sensible enough just to assume he will be injured and treat the time he is fit as a bonus (if there is any)
