Shane Watson- National Test Selector

Cricket Web: All-Time Legend
To be fair the more Starc bowls this season the more it looks like he should be at least in the frame. It's only Twenty20 obviously but there's no doubting he's in form. He shouldn't make it in over Hilf/Siddle/Pattinson, but if for some reason we decided to play four fast bowlers or one of those three went down, I'd definitely have him next in line while Harris is still out.

Watson should not be saying, with regards to Haddin, "I have my fingers crossed for him, and I certainly think he deserves a chance to be able to take on the South Africans."

Vice Captain shouldn't be saying that I reckon, wouldn't exactly make Wade feel loved. Needed to flat bat any question about the keeper position like Clarke and Ponting did. Just praise the both of them, say whoever is selected will be the right choice, both are capable of playing their role well vs. South Africa etc.

Who says Watson doesn't want Wade in the team too? There have been articles floating around suggesting both play. Definitely not something I would do though.

Haddin does seem to be very popular with his teammates..

The normal awards that everyone else has
Should not be in a position of leadership, should not comment on team selections.

If Clarke is injured and Watson captains Australia (for even one test), the whole thing has become a ****ing joke.

I did say yes. Think Philander took 5 in both innings as well in that bizarre match in Cape Town where SA got bowled out for 96 and Australia for 47.

Are Warner going to open the batting? Funny he never played vs SA in a test. I hope he got some sense as his inexperience in Test cricket especially batting with the tail cost Aus the match vs NZ which they lost by 7 runs. Despite him making a 123* he offered his tail enders for NZ on a plate.

Hmm so yes Watson did dominate the South African batting line up it seems.
