I've backed him for so long as he had all the physical tools and decent bowling action, but his lack of a brain is seriously costing now.
Maybe his physio or doctor does. What's so weird about that?
He is definitely a talented batsman
Because people, you included apparently, seem to think Watson decides when he'll bowl or not. He's not the person making the decision. He does what he's told.
Not sure, but given the state of this match, the series and the pitch I can't imagine Clarke would say no if Watto went to him and said, "I'm feeling really good and would like to have a bowl here because I think I can help us win this match". Especially given that Watto will have a long rest after this Test.
Uhm..., no. I've simply put forward the possibility that he is physically able to bat, but not to bowl. To me it would seem that either he himself, or his doctor/physio makes that call.
Hahaha **** this incident gave me a heart attack...I saw the ball flying towards short leg and then my live feed froze, with the ball a foot from the fielder's hands.
It doesn't matter who has decided Shane Watson shouldn't bowl, the main point is it wasn't Shane Watson!
Proof that democracy is dead.
I really don't understand what you mean here.
Wade has a tendency to look horrid early doors before getting set.
it's not like watson would be in the team at all with a broken foot though
He's not exactly the only batsman to do so!
