What do u mean why. They are England's two best keepers. Read will likely be the first choice and if he underperforms or gets injured will be replaced by Gojo.

At last, this series gets an official thread opened. It's vital that England have a good day first day at Brisbane, or else we may be in danger of doing what Nasser's men did last time around.

Can't believe it is so close. Come on Eng-er-land. It will be a tightly fought series, but I am not doing any predcitions.

I thought Read was alright...haven't seen him play though, he is good isn't he?

Anyway, good to get Ashley Giles bolstering our batting line-up. ;)

Well let's just hope that Giles doesn't even get a chance to play. Monty all the way for me.

A good keeper, but a poor batsman, not that Jones is a great one either IMO. Giles will give us a good hand if he plays, and he may well, I doubt Panesar will be able to take the ribbing.

You'd be surprised.

You Aussies must be rattled if your only hope of handling Panesar is to hope he can't take abuse.

I think he is making the joke the Giles is a poor bowler and will make it easier for the Aussie batsmen to score runs.

Come on Evo, Panesar? making us rattled? LOL.

He is an good player I'll give do you honestly think the will get turn on the aus pitches (cept SCG) and trouble our batsman? You are talking him up too much. He isn't Warne or even close to Macgill, Get ready to see him dispatched and crack under the crowd as well.

I wasn't saying he'd bamboozle your batsmen. A previous poster said the crowd would get to him, whereas I was merely defending Panesar.
