Watson Watch

[Skyliner]

Watson still rated by the ICC as one of the current top 10 Test Allrounders. He's holding down 9th spot, staving off a challenge from fellow noted Allrounder Tim Southee who's in 10th. Ryan Harris and Mitchell Johnson are both ranker higher than him. Stuart Broad currently has a lock on 5th.

Seriously Boof, what about backing the new, young guy. Give him 4 tests in a row. And if he doesn't work out, what about looking around, rather than coming back time and time again to the poisoned well.

I hope that's him just trying to keep Watson motivated.

From here it should be Marsh's spot for the series, with Faulkner providing cover/competition once CA let him off the naughty step.

meh, he'll probably do that. No point publicly saying Twatto is done for good - what does that gain? Its the time of dumb stuff the ECB would say.

See, this is a man we should all have love for. Despite the world being against him, time and time again he takes it on the chin and keeps moving forward. Even as decrepit, old and useless as he is, he just keeps powering on.

I hope he gets his deserved spot back.
