    Jones, Read or Davies?

    By Will 2 years ago, mid-June Leave a comment on this post

    Low but audible mumblings of praise have been heard across the cricket world, or at least in England, for Stephen Davies. 19 and from Worcester, his coach - former England wicketkeeper Steve ‘Bumpy’ Rhodes - has said that he’s really rather excellent. No pressure, then. More on this at The Times, but it’s high time we had another poll I reckon. Geraint Jones will, I feel, play in the Ashes and possibly in the World Cup. But Chris Read, the best gloveman in the country, is many people’s first choice - and could yet be a real force in one-day cricket.

    So who do you think should play in the Ashes, or even against Pakistan? Stick with Jones, go with Read - or take a punt on the teenager? Place your votes, leave your comments and generally make a nuisance of yourselves. (If you’re reading this via RSS, click here to vote)

    Fletcher obviously has seen something he likes in Geraint Jones, and i don’t think we’ll be seeing him go anywhere soon. I think i’d have to agree, for now. It would seem that Jones is in the side for his ability with that bat, and i reckon that he has to be backed to regain some form in that department. Plus i’m fairly certain that we shouldn’t be causing further disruption in the England side, which is looking inexperienced and wobbly at the moment anyway.
