If the fast bowlers target Broad's foot, that's a new low.

Have you ever played competitive sport? You walk out there your fit to play!

Exactly, JB. This is competitive stuff, not just in your backyard ::)

Watson makes a 100, English players dont clap for him.
Stokes makes a 100, Aussie players give him a round of applause.

Difference in class right there ;)

Na fair enough imo

English supporters too depressed to clap anything when Watto scored.

Well, Watson sorta got dropped, caught over the rope, wasn't really facing much good bowling and tonking.
Stokes is playing for the sake of his country, there is no more chances for England, and it was a true fighting hundred, that noone else has been able to do for them this tour. There was a clear difference in the type of hundreds that they scored...

Also, if Stokes leads England to a win and then they retain the urn, he'll definitely get a kinghthood :P

A hundred is a hundred, says the same in the scoreboard. Pommies are just shower blokes who dont follow the spirit and conventions of the game, look at them Swann cant even tuck his shirt in.

You're not serious are you? Really, if you cannot see that they were totally different centuries then there is something wrong with you...

Was Watson under pressure to make runs? Does it mean nothing to him?

Watson was, the I don't even think Australia cared whether he got out for 96 or 103 though. That was the situation of the match, batting for the declaration.

As shown by some of the wiser Australian supporters' heads on this forum, there would've been disappointed had Stokes been dismissed for 96.

Doesnt matter who deserved it more, you clap both!
