Saw this post and well, if key batsmen can't get runs in those conditions then Giles would have had no chance. Let your batsmen get the runs, runs from the tail is a bonus as far as I'm concerned.Its times like these you understand the wisdom behind selecting players of the ilk of Giles...
Excellent day of cricket yesterday, really good standard of play, even better considering it just started as I got back home.
Fantastic from Jimmy! Surely, when Fred comes back you have Hoggard, Harmison, Flintoff, Anderson and Panesar, especially if Prior continues to get runs. Jimmy has done the business for England and the two wickets he got yesterday were crucial, Ganguly this morning would be nice! He's opening the bowling with Tremlett this morning.
