Bob Bamber said:What do you guys reckon about him. He is a great spinner (The best in england at the moment) but he can't really bat and his fielding leaves alot to be desired at the best of times.
Well to be fair you can't be certain of that, for all we know murali might have blown away the tail, along with maglina yorking a few. That's the two things can mop up tails easily, sheer pace and quality spin and you can't always rely on the tail hanging around.marc71178 said:No, I think it speaks volumes about the need for a side to have capable batsmen down to 11.
With the current missing bowlers we're not only missing their superior bowling, but also their much more solid batting.
Giles >>> Plunkett
Harmison >>> Mahmood
Jones >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Panesar.
The side wouldn't have lost 5 for 5 with those 3 in the 8, 10, 11 (or 9, 10, 11 as it would've been with the Hoggster NWMing) positions.

With who at 8 exactly?dontcloseyoureyes said:But anyway, with the English lower order/tail as it would be at full strength, they can all wield the willow well enough to cover Panesar, in my opinion.
Bold - May well be rightopen365 said:It's quite astonishing how bad he is at fielding. A 11 year old county age group player could field a lot better than that, no joke.
I think he's so bad because as a youngster he just spent all his time bowling, not practising batting and fielding. Still, i think he will improve, and he'll be a lot more confident once he takes a good catch and starts to believe in himself, and i don't think all this media attention is helping either, we should just leave him alone and she how he is in a year.
It's still no question as to who plays when Giles is fit though, i think he is a better spiner atm aswell.

Err...Jamee?it's all in italics apart form the bold and underlined partsJamee999 said:Bold - May well be right
Italic - Wrong
Underline - It'll be quite a tough choice.
To be honest, if the #7 spot wasn't so good at brain explosions it wouldn't matter that much.marc71178 said:With who at 8 exactly?
No it won't. When Giles is fit he's straight back in.Jamee999 said:Bold - May well be right
Italic - Wrong
Underline - It'll be quite a tough choice.
Or England could play their best side and play exactly zero spinners.Jamee999 said:We could play 2 spinners.
