*Official* Third Test at Old Trafford

First Class Debutant
I really don't get where all the talk of watto being untouchable and treated like a top player in our side ever came from. He's never made big scores, never gone on with it what's the point of him being in the side? He rarely even hangs around long enough to bat in the new ball like some openers can claim.

Can't see Australia picking two spinners when the People's Champ can twirl a few down. But I think Lyon will play ahead of Agar. No real reason to think that, just a hunch on my part.

Yeah but those same people picked Pattinson to play the third test ffs.
huh? why would you drop pattinson over just a couple of poor tests? he's a tremendous talent and i'd definitely have him playing in manchester.

lol jk

AWTA. The bowling attack lacks spine, morale tends to fracture under the stress of a Test match. I'd definitely have him back.

But he contributes with the ball and takes 3 wickets per match and not too mention he scores some pretty 30"s which are more than valuable to a team who has no one who"ll do better than that at the top of the order.He should always be the second player picked and is our best opener since Katich.Its easier to drop the future in Hughes or Khawaja as neither have made a higher score than Watson in the series so far.

Australia's batting crisis can't be that bad if they're dropping a bloke who averages more than Cook, Trott, KP and Prior.

LOL, after 2 tests. I really hope they don't drop Twatto now and he plays out the series...........I'll bet my left nut that 3 out of 4 of those have a better average than him at the end of the 5 tests.

Watching the highlights of day 4 in Brisbane last time out and Cook's ton in the 2nd innings was jusr his 14th Test ton.
