Cowan out for Usman. Hughes to open. Usman to 3. Watson back in for Hussey and bat 4. Clarke still at 5...  :-\ and then bring in Payne for Wade.

That's my batting line-up.

Johnson is an AR!

Not consistently against quality opposition with a fragile top order.

Yeah I was poking fun at the people claiming MJ is an all-rounder.

He averages 22, so I don't know how people say he is. AR should be 30+ batting average IMO :O

no no no no no no no no no no no no

If Watson gets back into the side it HAS TO BE OPENING. He struggles everywhere else in the lineup.

i wouldn't mind if they dumped Watson from tests and put Henriques in to be honest....in fine form and bowling is on par maybe better than Watson's

[Bill Manspeaker]

ouch that hurts

[T Dog]

short leg is right

Yep agree wholeheartedly if Watson isn't opening there is no point in playing him.

Great batting by our great all rounder there. Couldn't make the distance with the first edge so just hangs the bat out there to the exact same ball and gets a bit finer edge.

Haha he bowls way too much short shower. Watson bowls better than Henriques.


and yeah Watson could open, but I would prefer to see Hughes open, he and Warner seen to bat well together.

[JBs-Hawks]

Wouldn't mind seeing Watson bat at 6 or 7.  Should be able to cope with his body as well with a bigger break between bowling to batting
