Batsman with Gower touch fills England void
16th Nov 2006, 08:18 GMT
England have chosen an uncapped Irishman ahead of two players with Test experience to fill the void left by Marcus Trescothick in Australia. Ed Joyce may have made only three one-day international and one Twenty20 appearances for England but the selectors feel that he is better equipped to cope with the demands of touring Australia than Rob Key or Owais Shah.
