Ashley Giles couldn't spin a pound coin, never mind a cricket ball. Tony, Coventry Picking only those bowlers that can bat a little is amateurish. (o win you have to take 20 wickets. No ifs, no buts.

Duncan Fletcher is harder to see than the invisible man. His poor selection and decision making are the real problem. Some players allowed to pick and choose when they want to play.

The rest appear unable to bowl line and length. The batsmen also need to take a hard look at themselves — too many loose shots in particular. Flintoff needs to start making big scores to hold the team together.
