	Ashley Giles - Warwickshire - Players - Stats - ECB
		Giles’ Ashes tour of 2002 was short-lived as he suffered a broken wrist after being hit by England colleague Steve Harmison in the nets before the Adelaide Test, having taken six wickets in the first in Brisbane.
		Giles retained his place throughout the summer of 2003 and was part of England's triumphant tour of the West Indies in 2004, although the success of the pace bowlers restricted his influence on proceedings.
		Giles was one of the players to come under fire when England lost the opening game of the Ashes series but his critics were made to eat their words at his home ground Edgbaston where his five wickets helped earn a dramatic two-run win.

	Ashley Giles Benefit
		Originally Ashley was a pace bowler for Surrey, but in 1993 he made a big decision to move to Warwickshire where he soon became a formidable spinner for his newly adopted county.
		I know Ashley agrees that while his individual part in last summer's Herculean efforts is a matter of great personal pride, it is the impact of the team's inspirational achievements that will underpin the future of English cricket for decades to come.
		Ashley Giles is one of the most popular cricketers of recent years – and rightly so.

		Mr Mrs Giles have travelled to Africa to see their son, Ashley, Warwickshire CCC and England, play in the one day series against South Africa and Zimbabwe.
		The quandary for the selectors was that they could not pick a specialist spinner in the fear of giving too many runs away as the English batsmen were not in very good form.
		We played Ashley, who was a fast left arm bowler and a reasonably good bat, in the first 2 matches but left him out for the final game against the Midlands.

		For some strange and completely bewildering reason England value Ashley Giles to such an extent that they have taken him along as a “non-playing member” to the Champions Trophy in India.
		Giles is so pumped up about his chances for The Ashes, he blurts, “If I am happy with how I am bowling, even in net practice, I am willing to take on a Test match every time”.
		Giles is feeling good in the nets, guess he can derive some satisfaction from that - for it might be a long while before he gets his next game..

		The Ashley Giles story is an endearing tale of one man's triumph over the doubters.
		With a high-trotting approach to the crease climaxing in an energetic flurry of limbs, Giles does not have the most fluent spin-bowling action - possibly because he began life as a fast bowler - and was once derided as a "wheely-bin", much to his own annoyance.

		Highly valued by Warwickshire as a stock bowler and mean with it, he put in some solid one-day performances for his country before being regularly selected for the Test side.
		It was during the 2000/01 tour of Pakistan that Giles finally claimed a regular spot in England's Test team, with some extremely disciplined bowling that contributed greatly to the team's victory in that series.
		Although he was occasionally criticised for sometimes bowling a 'negative' line, he became an asset to his captain with his ability to tie up one end whilst the attacking bowlers operated from the other.
