Australia's Summer of Fun

If we're looking at a Watto replacement, my vote goes to Marcus Stoinis.  ;)

I know henry has my back on this one.  8)

[Mailman the 2nd]

No to Khawaja, but yes to Cowan? Pls.

Think most people are looking to the future Mailman, Cowan's not the future.

Play people who are going to score you runs now, not in 5 years. Cowan is (and was when he played) much better than Khawaja.

He's scoring centuries every 2nd First Class match for Tassie

[PowerBug]

Cowan is a great option. Moises Henriques maybe? Move Joe Burns up to 3?

[Nige]

Move Joe Burns up to 3?

Yes.

I was discussing what jobe said before about needing youth and some for the next 7-10 years, not a player to replace Watto at 3 at this very moment.

[Mailman the 2nd]

Really? Because every single page has a "drop Watson lul" comment

Henriques is an average bowler, average batsman. Already got Watto and Mmarsh who fit that category.

[Mailman the 2nd]

Henriques isn't too bad, but yeah he's much the same as Marsh and Watson, I feel they're pretty much all pretty similar

[JBs-Hawks]

Mitch Marsh is Wattos replacement.

[jobe#4]

Mitch Marsh is Wattos replacement.

I bet my life that Marsh wont bat 3 when he takes over Watson! and he is a better batsmen than Watto...the only allrounder capable would be Jacques Kallis

He won't bat at 3, but he is still Watson's replacement. Which means that leaves a hole at 3, which leads to the above discussion ;)

Yeah, fairly sure JB was talking long term.

Burns should be moved up to 3 or even to opener with Warner after Rogers is gone after the Ashes.

There'll probably be a decent turnover after that series. I think it's already been confirmed that it'll be the last series for Rogers and Haddin (and I think Harris or Watson, can't remember which one... maybe even both).

Yea never said he should bat 3, Watto shouldnt be batting 3 atm.

Theres only two people who should be batting at 3 based on current skills and that is Smith or Clarke

[tbagrocks]

I just don't see why the great ODI allrounder, the big Faulk doesn't get a mention, he's a real trier but has some serious ability too

Sure yes Marsh is batting #6 for now but Id like to see the Faulk get a go in the same team! As Watto's replacement of course

Smith to bat #3, Clarke #4 S Marsh/M Marsh #5, Faulkner/M Marsh #6

[JBs-Hawks]

Because Faulkner hasnt proven himself with the bat at first class level yet.

[nrich102]

What is wrong with you people? Joe Burns is the future number 3. Move Burns from 6 to Watsons position at 3 and put Watto at 6.

The good Marsh comes in, the bad Marsh goes out and really it's quite simple.
