Yeah, Watson's actually averaged 26 over the last two years. Next to that Cowan's 34 in the same time doesn't seem like the figure to be **** on.
I suppose there's just an air of "settling for acceptable" with Cowan, which naturally rubs people up the wrong way. There hasn't been much to suggest he'll average much higher or lower than 34 in the long run.

Smith, Sanga, Warner. He loves to hit a lefty does our Mitch.

It's said to be a minor fracture, so I don't think there'd be too much doubt over him playing the 1st Test. Probably done for the WI ODIs though.

Yeah not what I'd pick but I think that's the likely outcome.

Wouldn't it be great if Clarke decided he was keen for a bit of a bowl on this tour? I don't see it as likely at all as he's suffered a few injuries lately (albeit unrelated to his back..) but a tour of India in which your batting allrounder's bowling has been scrubbed and your spinner is a right arm off break bowler seems the perfect storm for Clarke to decide to bowl 10-15 overs a day, and then just shelve it for a while afterwards again. It'd really solve a lot of the balance problems we're having we're the side at the moment.

Is D00lan known to have some serious weakness aganst spin? I don't have anything against Usman except the fact he seems unable to actually play a forward stroke, but the other bloke has been belting the ears off it this year when there hasn't been a lot of low hanging batting fruit around.
Maybe they see him as one for England, after giving Usman a chance following his being next-in-line for quite a while.

I'd love for Clarke to bowl but we can't risk him getting injured as how he goes decides how our batting goes atm. I shudder to think how brittle the batting could be if his back flares up and he misses a game. Selectors would bat Wade at 5 and play "insert mediocre all rounder here" at 6 and 7.

Let's not get excited with this 34 talk. Cowan only averages 32.
