2ND ASHES TEST: England v Australia at Lord's Jul 18-22, 2013

[Fufu Andronez]

Plum.

 

[Red&BlackBear]

hahaha I think Watto is listening to the commentators. His first shot behind square on the leg side for the entire series minutes after they bring it up.

Alright then, back to the test we won against SA.

A test 4 years ago?

 

[8Ball]

Oh Watto...

 

[Xfactor1979]

Root not getting a double hundred was a Moral victory

In terms of this->

NO DOUBLE HUNDRED FOR YOU!

and thankfully there is no wasted referral this time, Khawaja is in, here comes another basket case!

 

[Timbo]

At least he didn't burn a review.

 

[umina panther]

Most overrated sportsman on the planet

 

[BunniesMan]

Watson approaching the nervous 20's

Called it.

 

[Spanner in the works]

Imagine my surprise....

 

[Timbo]

Hangon, did he hit it?

 

[aussies1st]

Shane "LBW" Watson.

 

[Horrie Is God]

Watto always looks so surprised when he gets done LBW..

 

[Red&BlackBear]

Should Watson keep opening? Or do we swap him and Hughes around in the order?

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Looked like Anderson wanted to sledge and then thought, poor bugger.

 

[Timbo]

I take it back, he didn't.

Can we please stop pretending this mug is an opener?

 

[BunniesMan]

He did not hit it first. Bat on pad or ball hitting the bat AFTER the pad. Plum.

Rogers has the ugliest leave ever. It's not a sword. Don't twirl the bat around like that.

 

[BDR]

Watson is f**king garbage. The sooner he is dropped the better. He is selfish and a poor batsman, he can go get f**ked.

 

[Spanner in the works]

Should Watson keep opening? Or do we swap him and Hughes around in the order?

He should be dumped from the side altogether.

 

[vvvrulz]

Watson will flay a few pretty shots and then disappear quickly along with a review.

Called it... almost!

 

[BunniesMan]

Should Watson keep opening? Or do we swap him and Hughes around in the order?

Hughes IMO is better the higher up the order he is.

Watson ideally is a 6. But Watson chucks a tantrum anytime anyone suggests he go down the order. Don't know if Lehmann and Clarke want all that drama halfway through the series.

 

[Danish]

Should Watson keep opening? Or do we swap him and Hughes around in the order?

Should he even be in the bloody team?

Yes, we are going to lose. And yes, any tactic to try and save this game is basically a losing battle.... but getting out for yet another run a ball sub-30 score when he should have just been thinking about occupying the bloody crease is just criminal.

The bloke has one setting, and its average. He should have been dumped permanently after the India debacle
