Watson's not a test player.

He's an all-rounder who can't bowl anymore. Doesn't have the inner strength to dig in for the challenge when bowlers have worked him out.

He just reverts to old habits and folds. Hughes is the same. Killed them in his first series but now cannot take up the fight to the bowlers.

They worked Steve Waugh out and he went away and came back stronger - determined to never be dictated to.

We're in a strong position heading into the afternoon session here fellas, great turnaround by the boys. Still can't believe they dropped Hughes for Warner who ended up making farkin 5.

Much less retain Watson to bat in Warner's regular spot

I just can't see Warner scoring runs in England.

The ball has too much movement for him to be effective.

Turned off @ lunch. Fell asleep on lounge didnt see anymore.

Same old story? What happened?
lyon ended up with 4 wickets - pieterson, bell, trott and bairstow. could get 5! they all bowled pretty well - harry got 2 and the rest 1 each. bird looks good. really kept the run rate down.

Might be wrong but stupid declaration. Can only see one winner. I prefer to lose 3-0 on top than giving a test away being a hero. If we win this bowlers will have to be exceptional. Target set is a very good T20 score and just a decent one day score. Poms will go mad if they pull this off. Pup what were you thinking? Happy to apologise if I'm badly out on this one.
