@ Bayview We've discussed this a lot in the past, you might recall. Losing, believe it or not, doesn't bother me (though I firmly believe it should bother the hell out of our players). My brother was telling me that he was watching a documentary about the 1986/87 Ashes series and after...

@ SC I'm just here dude you don't have to yell.... That was Stuart Broad in the first test. He hit the ball with the full face of the bat to slip, but was given not out. And we couldn't appeal the decision ad we had already used our two reviews up. We went onto lose the test by a lot less...

A running tally of Watson's woefulness -> 835 runs @ 26.09. Should I mention his self indulgent use of the DRS? I'm sure someone will bring up Mark Taylor's extended form slump and how he was not dropped... True... but, the big differences were: (1) Australia was still winning, (2)...

More Watson bashing.... Over the same period - Clarke has scored 2680 runs @ 62.32. 1269 of those with Watson in the team - at an average of 43.75. 1411 without Watson in the team @ 100.78. It's bad enough that Watson can't score runs... but it is even worse that there appears to be...

Watson is a prime example of the sort of spineless wonder that the greater part of the Australian top order have become. His 31 test innings since the start of 2011 have been - 45 38 22 0 36 8 21 4 88 0 39 52 56 0 41 5 10 25 30 5 83 28 17 23 9 17 5 13 46 30 20...

I have heard it said that the problem with Australian cricket atm was that it had no world beaters in the team (Clarke a likely exception). Well I disagree. I'm not saying that I'd object to if a 25 y/o clone of Warnie came along... or Adam Gilchrist circa 1999.... But you can't...
