Read in, Jones out...can have no complaints. Jones came in for lack of runs on Read's part, now tables have turned.

yes im in favour of the move. im a Jones fan but he hasn't justified his place this summer. Read also deserves another chance

good decision - at least until Read starts dropping catches and getting out for nought

Although Jones has been in all the winning teams .. perhaps its harsh?

It's a little harsh, but the selectors were as or even more harsh on Read when we were in the Caribbean. Im not a Jones fan to be fair, but competition for places is there now, so can only be a good thing. but if Read doesnt take this chance he isn't coming back

If read fails with the bat in the next 4 innings which spans 2 test and jones get runs for kent in county cricket and pro 40 will geraint get his spot back.

Jones also conceded quite a few byes in the last match - justified dropping him

At last,tbf i think his wicket keeping has been alright,but he was picked because he was supposed to be a better batsman than Read,he has not got enough runs simple as.
