Just wondering why people are saying drop Joyce? He has a fantastic first class record for a poor team in Middlesex, and is a genuinely talented player. Key on the other hand had a poor season for Kent. It yet again looks like England have got their selection wrong. 4 bowlers worked for England against Pakistan who had a very strong batting lineup, and they've pretty much only used four bowlers in this match.
Still take nothing away from Australia throughout this series, at every key moment in every match they've been by far the better side. Granted the little bits of luck haven't gone Englands way, but the difference is Australia have taken every half chance and created more on top, whilst for England they haven't been able to do so.
In regards to Read v Jones debate, Jones may well look like he should score more runs, but he hasn't. Read has some form as shown by his 50 in the warmup game, and runs against Pakistan. Even if Read had been providing the odd 20-30 with one 50, he would have contributed far more than Jones, and no matter what people keep saying regarding Jones improvement with the gloves, Read is still the better keeper, especially standing up to the spinners.
For Sydney, even though I don't think Dalrymple has what it takes for test cricket, he would be a better selection than the 4th seamer, as without doubt he is more likely to get runs than any of the other bowlers, and probably at the moment than Freddie and Jones.
Edit - Sureshot - The stumping was to be fair to Jones a tough chance, but I have seen wicket keepers take them, and that is supposed to be his job. There was a lot of bounce but he never gathered cleanly, and quite often of the spinner he doesn't.
The skied pull of Hussey however was a poor call from him, it was always going to square leg, Kp had time to amble near it, yet Jones sprinting at full pace only just got anywhere near it.
