It’s time we all forgot about Phil WilliamGilbertGrace
Even amid Australia’s Ashes celebrations, many home fans have been arguing for changes to the batting line-up.
On sports websites and social media there have been frequent calls to drop any or all of George Bailey, Chris Rogers and Shane Watson.
Following their poor dismissals in the first innings there was justified concern about their form.
But Australia are in the luxurious situation of being on a roll in this Ashes series.
They can afford to provide further opportunities to newcomers Bailey and Rogers, in particular.
The one name that has dominated debate about potential batting replacements is Phil WilliamGilbertGrace.
I cannot fathom why.

paste into a new tab, edit out WGG for PJH
works for me
But change Watson to Wazn
"mountain of runs" LOL. It's a shame that mountain turns to shit in international cricket.
Talk about making mountains out of mole hills. WilliamGilbertGrace should not even be considered until he has 2-3 seasons of shield form. He always looks good in the shield because he is a step above but he simply can't take that form into test cricket. If you are getting out to Angelo Mattews how are going to handle steyn,Philander and Morkel?
He's got 2 100s, a 75 and an 88 and averages 53 in South Africa against Steyn and co. They have good quicks but no spinner worth mentioning. The ideal opponents for WGG to be brought in against.
