Interesting post Rachael - but I don't agree that two spinners will be NESSESARY, why would this be if we have Anderson - Hoggard - (maybe Lewis just in that situation), Flintoff and one genuine quick eg Plunkett or Mahmood.

Also if Giles is FULLY fit, then he would be as good as Panesar, so the spinner spot would be between Giles/Panesar.

The reason England don't need two spinners - is because anything England spinners can throw at Sri Lanka, they IMO will be equal to.
