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

[8Ball]

Very poor first hour. 2 wickets thrown away.

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.

Doesn't surprise me

I've been gong to Test Cricket at the WACA since 1998 and I've only seen one draw in that time (vs South Africa 2005)

Poor Warner. Can't play his natural game because his pea heart team mates keep tumbling at the other end.

[Pete Cash]

Come on Davey pop a valium mate. Relax you have all day..

 

[Sphagnum]

A century and 8000 runs in your hundredth test? Carn pup.

Memo to Clarke.

Watson is not a top order player.

Results and statics do not lie.

 

[ek999]

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.

Clarke isn't a selector so telling him would be pointless

 

[The Charlatan]

Jordan Silk, come on dooooooooooowwwwwwwn.

 

[BCH]

Can anyone advise on Watson's test average for the last 12 - 24 months?

 

[Timbo]

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

He's a number 7 batsman at best. If they replace Watson they'll want a top order batsman.

 

[Timbo]

Can anyone advise on Watson's test average for the last 12 - 24 months?

Last two years, 17 tests, 960 runs @ 30.

 

[Horrie Is God]

The 3 rangas in the pommy side would be loving this Perth weather..

 

[Pete Cash]

How dumb is that security guard.

 

[BCH]

Last two years, 17 tests, 960 runs @ 30.

Ta, & that average is inflated by his 100+ in the dead 5th test in england

 

[madunit]

Can anyone advise on Watson's test average for the last 12 - 24 months?

After today:
2013: 21 Inns, 614 runs @ 29.23
2012: 11 Inns, 346 runs @ 31.45
2011: 11 Inns, 265 runs @ 24.09

Total 2011-2013 - 43 Inns, 1225 runs @ 28.49, 6 x 50's, 1 x 100's

When the English very kindly allowed a couple of disabled kids have a bowl for the makeawish foundation

 

[AusKnightRKO]

He scored the most runs in the last ashes, we pretty much stick with the gimp.
