Hope Clarke enjoyed watching that one from a spectators point of view.

Time for a new 3 and Wazn to retire from test cricket.

Because as crap as Watson is he is 100 times the player Marsh is. Watson has played a role as a bowler at least. Marsh has done nothing at test or 1st class level his entire life.

Marsh is fill in for an injured player down the order. He is completely, totally, utterly irrelevant to keeping or dropping Shane Watson.

He is not irrelevant at all. Competent selectors would not leave Watson out of a team Marsh is in. They're both top 6 players. If you have other players in there and you're deciding out of them 2 you can't pick Marsh.

You're a plank.

100 times?

Maybe I am being too kind to Marsh. 1000. 10000 maybe. Watson has a very good 1st class career, his average as an opener is higher than Rogers. He is a handy bowler. At times in Brisbane he was our best after Hazlewood.

On the other hand you have Marsh who has less 1st class 100s than seasons played in his career. Averaging 36 at 1st class cricket, he isn't even good enough at the level below let alone this level.

You could put a sack of straw with a bat glued to it and it would be less of a liability than Watto at 3.

I can tolerate Watson in the side at 6 I cannot tolerate him at 3. Marsh sucks too but at least he isn't going to the press basically demanding he bats in the top 3 so he can try and clobber the hard ball.
