I think thats an error, but I'm willing to give Giles a chance, I can see why they want to keep the previous side together.

And our batting lineup isn't the best.

Giles gives us a slightly better tail.

Theyve chosen NOT to go with monty

Well we chose Geraint Jones over Chris Read (the better wicketkeeper) and now it's Giles over Monty (the better bowler).

Why don't we bring in Grame Hick for Kevin Pietersen?

Well I think Cook, Bell and Collingwood have been terrific, so batting isn't what this decision should hinge on, although they've already taken it into consideration. The fact is, they're going to have to bat like they've never batted in their life.

Exactly, but how fit is Bell?
