I am fussed, in fact

If there had been another category, "continue to pick Jones for Tests unless his keeping isn't up to it", I would have voted for that. I'm all for giving new players a decent run in the team, but we need more time to see how Jones fares - especially in English conditions - before booking him in for the next six or seven matches. He kept well on a shirtfront in the Windies, but how will he fare when the ball is moving off the seam and in the air?
