Did he walk off all dejected?

No vision here, but can picture a dejected Watson trudging off after failing to go on after a start.

19 x 50s, 2 x 100s, average under 40 after 68 innings, surely we have better batsmen for our number 4 position, he is not up to the standard, simple as that.

FMD we are just throwing this game away.
We look like having a 200 run lead after our 1st innings. Let's not exaggerate. We may not win by an innings because of this collapse but we're not throwing the game away.

Those numbers look alright for a #6 batsman. That's where he should be.

Watsons bowling is pretty handy, even if he does only average high 30's with the bat, we know he's capable of scoring 50's, which is all we need from him if 1 or 2 of our other batsmen fire. But I agree he should be batting at 6 and not 4.

It should be:

1) Warner
2) Cowan/Hughes
3) Hughes/Khawaja
4) Clarke
5) M.Hussey
6) Watson
7) Wade

Shut up you stupid pussbag!!

We were crusing at 3 down and after Clarke getting with a new ball just taken Watson and Wade just hand their wickets away. Now Hussey may be in trouble it's just poor cricket.

Herath is one unlucky bloke. Umpires call. If Umpire gave it out Hussey would be on his way. Right after he should have been out moments before that.

Herath should have a big bag and they should be right in this.

On the plus side for us. Every one of our top 6 batsman have scored at least a 50 in the last 2 tests. Everyone is in the runs.

I think we dont want to bat again this match, or chase a small total
very important we get a 375 plus lead

Wouldnt be surprised if we see notch/hussey twin tons

What a catch from Herath. Absolute screamer and after all the times they've failed to catch from his bowling...
