Last good English spin bowler was Darren Gough and his slow off cutter.

Keedy is a slow left armer.....haven't really been noticing how he's doing this year..as it seems to be mainly one day stuff and 20/20. Some ability with the bat is needed though for an England spinner...which is why Gilo has to go, he was playing Lee pretty much like I would....trying to get out the way....not acceptable at this standard. |

i have changed my mind and think colly should be in the team now. we will have an extra batsmen with freddie batting at 7 or 8 and colly is a better fielder than hoggard or jones (which ever one he will replace) and will also give us more variety in the bowling department. plus he is good knick with the bat at the mo. on the subject of spinners, whatever happened to chris schofield (likened as a young shane warne) he played 2 tests in 2000 and then got dropped unfairly. now he seems non existant.

Schofield hasn't even got a pro contract anymore.
His work ethic was non-existant apparently.

Hard one to call. I think that Trescothick, Strauss, Vaughan, Flintoff, Harmison and Pieterson are the only ones who are irreplaceable, but we need to make sure we have the right balance.
Collingwood has done very well this year, and Flintoff has done bugger all. It doesn't mean I would swap them.
I can see why people would want to lose Giles, but he is the only decent spinner we have, and a to a spinner, playing on their home ground does make a difference as they know the wicket well. I would leave Giles in purely because we need a spinner.
If we were to bring in Collingwood, he would have to replace a bowler as we can't get rid of any of our current batsmen. Perhaps if S Jones has a bad test it could be considered, but other than that I would leave things the same

I would publically like to apologise to the King of Spain...that I could ever have doubted his battling spirit in the face of hostile fast bowling.
He's my hero now, I'm even going to read his :scribe: in theguardian.

Don't panic I said. The selectors didn't. We won.
