Double Snubs in Australia

Today was the first day of the second Ashes test, and while it was a good day for England's batsmen, there were two bits of disappointing news:
1) No Monty again. Monty Panesar is the best finger spinner in the world, according to England coach Fletcher, but for the second match in a row they chose Ashley Giles instead, presumably because of his experience and batting ability. I've never coached a cricket side, but England needs to win a test. Why not trust Strauss, KP, Collingwood, Bell and Flintoff to take care of the batting and put the best bowling attack you can muster. It seems like both sides selected players with a draw in mind. Given the slowness of the pitch, a draw seems like the most likely result, but Monty has shown the ability to take wickets on unfriendly pitches.
2) No bugle again. I haven't actually heard the Barmy Army bugler (perhaps I'll get the chance next summer at the Oval), but I understand he's actually talented (a classically trained musician). For the second straight match Cricket Australia has not allowed him to bring his bugle. I don't quite understand this policy. I fear the result will be more drunken ditties from the Barmy Army.
