No! Jones has to come back into the side. Although his batting is weaker he is a better fielder and brings more to the team.

Nah keep Read he played out of his skin considering the oppurtunity hes given, he never gets a chance and now he has taken it well, keep him in the team and you get competition, then maybe Geriant will return to form, then maybe bring him back!

Read also offers a similarity in the field, Geraint is no better with the gloves on if you ask me, maybe slightly quicker, but Read is sharp, with bucket hands and batting well, what more can you ask for!

With you on that one Ayriss.

I think Jones is good, but at the moment Read is better

Exactly. Read has been made to sit through Jones's elongated bad patch despite playing well for the County Champions and scoring 150 for the England "A" team.

Now he's got his chance he's played two decent innings and taken 6 scalps.

To drop him now and put in someone out of form would be lunacy.
