Graveney - Monty not a certainty

[BigCrickNan]

Chairman of selectors David Graveney revealed the England management still hold reservations about Monty Panesar.

Panesar took eight wickets during England's crushing victory against Pakistan at Old Trafford, bowling a wonderful match-winning spell throughout most of the third and final day.

Graveney has also suggest Giles playing with Monty.

What a load of crap.

What a junk heap! Giles shouldn't be anywhere near England anymore; Monty is the best spinner in England, pure and simple.

That's a load of crap! Monty has been doin extremely well. I think he is the spinner England are looking for. The King of Spain is not the King he used to be. Nevertheless, his batting and fielding is not that great.

Monty is by far the best English spinner around at the moment, can't believe what Graveney is saying

It's just talk imo so spur Panesar on. He's got to show Graveney just how indispensible he is.

I agree with Grav that Monty is not a certainty. At the moment, he is taking wickets and bowling well. He needs to keep that up to be sure of his place in the side.

I, personally, think Giles definately has a future in ODI cricket at least. His better batting and fielding, as well as the extra experience he has, means he would be my first choice spinner for the world cup. If Monty bowls well in the rest of the Pakistan series he deserves his place in the Test team for Australia.

Monty Panesar is turning into this summer's Andrew Flintoff. The Sun published an interview with him today, that went beyond his cricket. I've seen this happen to talented players before, and too much attention can break them. Let's hope this doesn't happen with Monty.

I really hope your right. It would be criminal to drop Monty for Giles.
