3rd Test: Australia v England at Perth Dec 13-17, 2013

Derp Watson can just f**k off

 

[vvvrulz]

The thing that England and New Zealand both have in common: if they're not playing on

1) a rank greentop (like the Hobart test in 2011) or
2) there's no natural swing in the air (England are aided with this in their home conditions using the Duke ball instead of the Kookaburra)

their fast bowlers have absolutely nothing.

This is especially true of Anderson, and to think there were so many seriously comparing him to Steyn.

 

[Pete Cash]

He needs to be dropped it's not funny any more. Throws his wicket away.

 

[Matt23]

Another weak as piss dismissal from Watson, drop him down the order or f*ck him off

 

[undertaker]

Interesting stat: the WACA has one of the highest "result" ratios in Australia. Only 7 out of the 40 tests (17.5%) played there have ended in a draw.

And replace him with who?

Not trying to get smart its a genuine question. Khawaja and WilliamGilbertGrace haven't proven anything, maybe try someone new?

 

[Bgoodorgoodatit]

that was pretty funny. watching the English feed of sky sports 2 at work and the stump mic picked wattos 'oh no' when he edged that.

he's pretty f**king average isn't he

 

[Joely01]

Time for Watto to be shown the door

 

[Timbo]

I just don't get it about Watson. No feel for batting whatsoever.

His bowling is surely the only thing keeping him around.

I wouldn't mind seeing Henriques come in for him in Melbourne.

 

[The Teach]

Has there ever been a cricketer more overrated by the selectors than derp wazn? Gives his wicket away way too easily for an "international" cricketer!

 

[madunit]

Throw Silk in for a few tests

 

[undertaker]

Oh ffs...

I'm starting to come around on Watson.

This is a 500 wicket. The middle order can't keep expecting Clarke and Haddin to score 400 of them.

Average 1st innings total in the last 3 WACA tests has only been 218.

 

[Timbo]

They want the 5th bowler. His replacement has to be an all-rounder.

Shane Wazn just doesn't have the heart for the battle..

He isn't a warrior..

When the pressure is off he looks like a white Sobers..

Not a bad idea actually.
Henriques isn't someone who gets a lot of mention and accolades but I'm sure he could do the job.

His only interest is to smash boundaries. He is not a test or first class standard batsman or

Comparing Anderson to Steyn?:lol: Who the hell did that here?:lol:

Anderson: 334 wickets from 89 tests @ 30.39
Steyn: 340 wickets from 67 tests @ 22.50

Jimmy Faulkner, step right up (well once his hands right)

 

[BunniesMan]

Can someone sit Clarke down or Lehmann down or Inverarity down and get them to explain the logic in picking Watson over and over again and especially in the top 4. He has been the only common denominator in our regular top order collapses over the last 3-4 years.
