| I wonder what will happen if Jones gets injured? Will they just bung Trescothick the gloves because Fletcher is obviously so loathe to let Read see the Aussies.

| I said its a bold move because of the fact darkside has just highlighted below... long tail for england.. now that is saying the coach has a lot of confidence in his specialist batsmen.. and that is bold. Im not sure i agree with the timing of all this though... i think Fletcher has bee na bit confused and showing it in his statements and actions since England landed in Aus.

| LOL at Flintoff being in the tail. I couldn't agree more! What's more, most of the tail can't bowl at the moment.

| Missed Chances Seems the boy Jones missed an easy stumping off Monty today and Strauss put a chance down off him as well is this a ploy to edge Monty out and play Giles as he has taken more wickets in the game. If England are to play 2 spinners Read should be playing nothing Jones has done since he was dropped from the test side has shown his batting is back to what it was 2 years ago |

| Yes, Jones's swashbuckling 13 was surely a highlight. It more than made up for his depriving Monty of a wicket with yet another missed stumping. He doesn't have a great track record with stumpings. Only the Bangladesh keeper is statistically worse. 5 stumpings in 31 tests: Jones. ENG 35 stumpings in 85 tests: Gilchrist. AUS 8 stumpings in 41 tests: Mashud. BAN 9 stumpings in 13 tests: Dhoni. IND 5 stumpings in 23 tests: McCullum. NZ 16 stumpings in 28 tests: Akmal. PAK 20 stumpings in 62 tests: Sangakarra. SRI I haven't included SA's Boucher, because I don't think he's been keeper all that long, compared to the 92 tests he's played (14 stumpings.) I can't remember who the SA keeper was before him.

| I'm no defender of Jones... but the number of stumpings taken by a 'keeper is more dependent on the number of opportunities created by the bowler than by the quality of the wicket-keeper! Stats don't really hep with glovework... and the only one that means anything is rarely recorded (being missed chances as a proportion of total chances). That said.. even that hides as much as it reveals (as missing sitters and taking blinders is common enough). Last edited by Rachael : 14-11-2006 at 03:45 PM. |
