2nd Match, Pool A: Australia v England - AUSTRALIA WON BY 111 RUNS

[Twizzle]

So when Pup and Faulks come back who makes way? I think Watson may actually get the flick after Marsh's bowling performance today, but the only other person you can drop after today's game is Hazlewood, which leaves the team horribly unbalanced.

If Bailey keeps making 50s we should keep him, Watson is adding nothing to the team atm and Marsh seems to have taken over his roll as a bowler with Watson only bowling 3 overs last night so I think Watson would be used as a rotation player.

Haze should be allowed one bad night, he's been one of our best bowlers all summer.

Tell that to the guy who missed out on a chance to score a century in a World Cup game against Australia at the MCG.

I agree they are shite... And it wouldn't have made a difference to the result...

But who knows how that farcical decision could effect the tournament down the track with run rates etc...

James Taylor reminds me of Sam Tomkins.

Anyways, England's side is Crap, but add Stokes and Pietersen to last night's batting lineup and there's a little more punch and fighting spirit which was sorely missing. Not selecting either player in the squad was a big mistake

And sucked in to those Poms who were bagging the Aussies out after the tri series final. Enjoy the thrashing

I don't see it happening until our selectors grow balls, but I believe that Watson should be the player making way for Clarke. Of the 4 all rounders when they are fit - Marsh, Faulkner, Maxwell and Watson - Watson is the one that hasn't done enough over the past 12-24 months to justify his spot in the side. Also, although he has had a rough trot in recent times, Bailey's 50 yesterday and his captaincy in Clarke's absence has done enough to keep him there

I just get sick and tired every time I read articles about how it will be impossible to play Clarke, Bailey and Smith in the same team, all while Watson's ineptitude has gone completely under the radar

When everyone's fit it would be geniused to have your best bat (Smith) at 5

 

[Twizzle]

I would have him at 3 and Watson at 13

I completely agree, I really dont know why they keep picking him.

Are they afraid of a public outcry if he gets dropped ?

I was bagging Kane Williamson for getting drooped all the time and than Aaron Finch gets dropped and goes on to score a ton which basically won us the game lol

We got some luck in this game,silly fielder dropped a dolly.

That's ok. I mocked you saying you'd rather Finch than McCullum and then he scored a big ton.

Finn's a chucker.
