[beads6]

Watson fails to go on with a start once again, we really could be bowling today at this rate.

:lol: @ Strauss no 3rd slip :crazy:

Oh pooey Sunshine out 4/96

Cometh the man cometh the hour

Hopefully a big 195 runs from North this dig

 

[Matt23]

we really could be bowling today at this rate.

...and bowling for about 3 days as well
fmd PB stop jinxing us

:lol: @ Strauss no 3rd slip :crazy:

What a noob, Poms are all over us and he is hardly attacking, He had retreat mode for Swans bowling straight after lunch as well.

 

[chefman21]

We are so screwed...

 

[TheParraboy]

Really how often has he been injured really??

from what I have read, has a chronic back injury which obviously is here to stay

can try and manage it, but unfortunately with age cant be a good thing you would have thought?

I am going to take the silver lining out of this if it happens, Ponting will go if we lose this series.

 

[hineyrulz]

Hussey dropped again :crazy:

 

[skeepe]

Watson fails far too often after making a start. A record of 12 half centuries and only 2 centuries is telling.

Will he???

 

[Mr Angry]

Mate it is well known he has serious back issues. I have nothng but respect for the fact he has given up big money (IPL) to ensure he is available for Australia.

But bad backs rarely get better they just get worse.

How chronic is it really if he has missed no tests due to the injury??

Agreed, that converstion rate is not good enough for an opening batsman. Bit hard to bag your best player atm though.

 

[beads6]

Will he???

I bloody hope so, it is what keeps me going.

Be handy at 6 though.

Hansie wins the bet, not a fair one really.

...and so he should, not many Australian captains have lost to England 3 times

 

[TheParraboy]

will go where?

2013 ashes series as captain in England?

 

[beads6]

will go where?

2013 ashes series as captain in England?

There will be a riot if that happens. He won't survive, he will fall on his sword or be pushed surely. If Clarke has a bad series he may even get bypassed as captain in favour of Victorian.

 

[Matt23]

favour of Victorian.

Which one North or White?
