watson should be at 7 with haddin at 8 and three quicks plus watson ... then symonds, clarke and katich ... i mean ffs katich as a front line spinner would be enough to trouble the kiwis

Agreed, Katich and Michael Clarke are good enough spin options. IMO I would not be against dropping Johnson and playing Watson, Kreija, Clark and Lee as our attack, plus part timers in Katich, Clarke, and Symonds. I struggle to see how Watson deserves to be punted when he was much more effective than Johnson!

 

[lockyno1]

Watson hasnt proved himself as a top order test batsman, and if he plays in this game he will bat at no8.

I get the feeling Krejza with be 12th man in Brisbane, and Sunshine 12th man in Adelaide

yeah, bring on the rain Locky :roll:

I'd rather it rain if Sunshone does not play, heck I'd rather us win but Symonds to get a duck. That would be perfect!

johnson atleast still takes wickets the stuart macgill way by bowling enough sh*t balls the batsmen get themselves out and clark has to negate lee being expensive ...

I don't feel Johnson has done enough, 13 wickets at 40 is s..t, does not matter which way you look at it. Watson got 10 wickets at 30, much better and will be more tight. Honestly I like Johnson but removing him and putting Watson in the side will not weaken our side, if anything will keep it tighter.

The lack of rain around the rest of the country hasnt changed the amount of rain affected matches at the GABBA

Diddums, lets just play every test match at the MCG :roll:

If it means Watson in the side, then yes. Honestly I do like Johnson BUT he has hardly proven himself, and Watson will be just as effective in Australia

:?:?:?

 

[lockyno1]

It means that I have not been convinced in Johnson, and I believe Watson is just as good a bowler and can bat and field better. Adds better balance to the side.

Hope Symonds gets a duck, that would be funny actually.

I don't know what you're laughing at because it will happen.

 

[hineyrulz]

Locky for the last 12 months has been telling us what a great bowler Johnson is, now when he has to choose between him or Sunshine poor sh*tchell has to hit the bricks :lol:

 

[African Monkey]

It must be terrible for her.

Mitchell was a lot better 12 months ago and that is the problem, he has not come on and frankly he probably needs a FC season to rectify his action to swing the ball a bit. He won't get wickets with crap all through his career. Watson is a better option at the moment.

It will be better if dumbass S..tmonds fails!:lol:

:lol::lol::lol: Just two weeks ago you were singing his praises, but his arse just isn't as smooth and perky as Sunshines.

Sunshine is a better player- in more ways than one.
