Yes I know, that's because he's not fit yet. He will play ODIs again.

Perhaps, more likely than in tests. He is better than D Christian.

Huge blow if he won't bowl in the ODI's.

Top_Cat · 07-01-2013, 05:31 PM

Huge blow to selection chances if he won't bowl in Tests. Well, it would be if there was serious competition for batting spots at the moment...

uvelocity · 07-01-2013, 05:34 PM

its was itstl that after a much heavier bowling workload in hobart due to dead hilf, that come boxing day his bowling duties were not workload managed.

Riggins · 07-01-2013, 06:06 PM

dont let benchy hear you say that, watson is older than 25.

benchmark00 · 07-01-2013, 06:13 PM

Oh R00gg00ns, what will we do with you?

uvelocity · 07-01-2013, 06:34 PM

Midwinter · 08-01-2013, 01:44 AM

it was coming , he's on 87

Not strictly related to this series, but I would never drop Watson if given the choice. I like him as an opener and would probably pick him and Warner to open more often than not. When he's fully fit, I reckon his bowling is pretty good as well.

The Test series went along fairly predictable lines - although SL were slightly more competitive than expected in Hobart and Sydney (especially without KS) and a fair bit worse than expected in Melbourne.

Don't really understand why SL went in with three pacemen at Sydney considering their respective records. Did they get influenced by the talk pre-match that the SCG wasn't as spin friendly as its reputation made it out to be?

I think for a few years now the SCG pitch is the best cricket wicket in Australia - such a contrast from the dreary ones dished up by Peter Leroy in the 1980s/90s which favoured no one except spin.

WIth such a poor conversion rate ,why is everyone convince Watson is the best man to partner Warner at the top of the order?Cowan will remain at the top of the order,especially so since Hussey has retired.Khawaja selection in the odi squad might be a hint he"ll be the one to replace Hussey.
