I don't call missing a couple of stumping chances and a dropped catch or two behind the wicket "faultless".

His keeping "coming on leaps and bounds" is a farcical statement.
Like Flintoff saying "we're getting better" when interviewed after the Adelaide debacle!

When was Jones going to peak or, at the least, attain Read's glovework standard?

The guy's selection, especially when Read was the man in posession, was a joke.
To have him as a member of the 'higher council' advising on selection was criminal.
In hindsight, why am I not surprised that Piles got the nod ahead of yet another player in possession - Panesar.
With Feltch, Flintoff, Piles and Jones as the "seniors" guiding selection, what chance Panesar being picked!

GoJo was trashed in August.
WTF was he returned to the side in November?
Oh yes, I forgot ... he scores heavily!
