I do not know whether you are aware that Ashley giles was named Wisden Cricketer of the year in 2005. He has so far played 53 Test Matches and taken 141 Wickets and 62 ODI and taken 55 wickets. His best bowling performance in both the versions was 5 wickets for 57 runs.
While I fully agree with you that Panaser should have been picked up in the team, I totally disagree with you that Ashley Giles is a useless cricketer. Considering the records given above, no one can say he is useless.
As far as dropping catches are considered, such things can happen in cricket. Gibbs is supposed to be the best fielder in the South African Team. in a world cup match, he dropped a sitter, which cost South Africa the World Cup. Just because swome dropped catches, one cannot bne termed as a worst cricketer.
I am neither an englishman n or supporter of giles. I have just given an assessment based on facts, which I consider is fair.

Ashley Giles is in the England side because of his "experience" from the 2005 Ashes. His bowling is really defensive, unlike Monty Panesar, he tries to get wickets. I personally think he is one of the worst cricketers. If Anderson gets dropped instead of Giles, I'd be annoyed.

No. he`s a genuine all rounder, having a run of bad form. He`ll be back with a bang soon.
