WATSON likely to open the batting, about time.
Good luck to debutant Adam Voges if selected

I hope you are right with watson.

Hope he scores and hayden fails. We cant have watson anywhere other than opening and without symonds he must play.

Disagree. For the upcoming World Cup, Watson's best position would be watching from his couch in Qld. Cue mal

without watson we are relying on clarke and hussey to bowl 10

or


5 frontline bowlers and a long tail

With Watson at 7 the tail is already long. At least with a specialist bowler there Watson wouldn't be bowling.

When was the last time one of those specialist bowlers made a 50

When was the last time Watson bowled well when it matters?

Mal i asked when has he bowled well? Do you really think he's bowled well in the last 2 games?

[blink]

Australia have won the toss and chose to bat

[rod_rooster]

Well this is a big chance for Watson. Opening today against a New Zealand attack minus Bond and Vetorri. If he fails here even mal might start to question him

Come on Watson, i hope he hits a big one today.

At the moment i would have Watson in the team for his batting ahead of Michael Clarke, Clarke seem to be very much the frontrunner when Ponting,Gilchrist and Hayden fire Clarke enevitablly comes in and hits a thirty to sixty, but when them three don't hit runs he struggles against the new ball big time.

At least Watson has a technique that has succeded against the new ball if we are in trouble, and if he comes in at 2/130 all the time im sure he will hit runs as well. my ideal top five would be

1. Hayden
2. Gilchrist
3. Ponting
4. Watson
5. Hodge

You'd play Watson ahead of Clarke on batting I don't think i can take anything seriously on this site anymore

Apparently it is. According to some on here Bradman would have been dropped to make way for the Great Shane Watson

Better player than Clarke What a ridiculous comment. Ridiculous doesn't even begin to describe it in fact.
