Why isnt he in the poms team then they wont lose anything if they drop jones has nothing to offer with the bat anyway

Fletcher rates Jones as a batsman and that was that. Marshie told him he was stupid. Read can bat a bit - will knock up a fifty every now and then - but they think that Jones is the next christ (Or Gilchrist). Feel sorry for Read who did nothing wrong in terms of glovework...

Sangakarra is good with the gloves, and Boucher must be aroundabouts too.

Hes pretty good, took a couple of blinders yesterday, not a very good batsman though.

Ramden looked good except for that drop of Gilly.
How is he not a good batsman? He put on a 350 run stand with Youhana and just made 101 against England in a ODI?? :confused:

Lets see if he can make hundreds AWAY from home, rather than making them on flat, home pitches. That is why Sangakara and Gilly are better. They make runs all around the world CONSISTENTLY!

Well at the time of writing he wasnt in very good form, he must have read my post and decided to put some extra hours in the nets.

and refresh my memory what did gilly average in his 3 previous odi's before that. i tell you what i'll save you the hassle and tell you. he averaged 60 at a strike rate of 113.92 and man of the series with a highest score of 103. i think you forgot to tell us about that.

we'll see if pakistan stay true to themselves and shuffle the keepers spot around like they have the last 20 years.

And refresh my memory what's Gilly done in test cricket 4 the last 6 months
Akmal must be good he's keeping both kahn and Latif out of the team

Another century to Akmal.
That's about 5 in 3 months [Tests/ODI]
Credit due where credit is deserved . As I post in the other Akmal thread , his batting has increased phenomenally in the past 2-3 years under the guidance of players like Moin Khan .

Im sorry to see him play so well against India , but the century he scored today equals the knock Dhoni played the other day , both came under pressure and if anything Kamran's was even more superb .

Best wicket keeper in the World ? No chance , but Sangakarra/Akmal/Dhoni will all be tremendous keepers in the years to come ...
