I still can't believe it:

Giles 26 overs
S Jones 12 overs
Thats the weakness of having five bowlers and all the four quicks bowling ok. It means that they don't get enough overs, cus the spinners a;ways going to bowl more overs, so the quicks don't burn themsleves out.

No, the spinner is only going to bowl more overs if the captaincy has been pretty poor for most of the day. Electric hands shells another.

I think he should've taken that - it wasn't that far away, and he got both hands to it. Could be crucial, suffice to say.

the whole point of having five bowlers is so the quicks are always fresh, which means the spinners going to get more overs, to keep them fresh.

Slater just said Pietersen's yet to take a catch in test cricket. He's dropped everything that's come to him. Hope for his sake that wasn't the Ashes.

Eh? The point in having the extra paceman is so that you don't have to bowl the weak link (Giles) so much and it doesn't overwork the other 4 bowlers.
