Read's top score this summer was 150* against Pakistan for England A. Averaging 48 in first class cricket, and is a high quality keeper
 
Geraint Jones averages 23 in all first class cricket this summer, not getting above 19 for England. but improving behind the pegs

Foster averages 36 for Essex and has highest score of 101*

Give Jones as many county matches to play in as those two, and im sure he'd have got a century aswell by now. Its just that playing for england limits you to about 5 or 6 county games a season, and not enough time to do much for his average.

Thats a fair point, but i cant see why he is still in the side when he isnt contributing with the bat. Maybe playing a couple more games for Kent could help, i.e Plunkett for Durham.

Give Jones the same amount of county games as Read and you'll see centuries in no time.  His 85 against the Aussies last summer was almost perfect stroke play, and his handling has improved vastly

This debate will go on whoever's in the side. At the end of the day Jones is the best out of a very weak bunch.
