I suppose that's true, but it's consistent - I like Sreesanth and Bollinger as well for example. A bowler wearing his heart of his sleeve is great to watch IMO, as long as it doesn't effect his actual bowling (which to be fair it does with Sreesanth at times). There's a difference in my mind between showing heaps of disappointment/excitement and instigating a confrontation. I like it when Watson jumps around like an idiot when he takes a wicket, and I like when Bollinger kicks the ground when he gets a decision turned down because it's all about what they're feeling about the game and not some stupid personal gripe with another player. Watson definitely crosses the line with that sometimes, but the specific examples you gave about him are things I actually like seeing.
Bollinger is fine, Watson just looks like one of those kids who thinks he's cool but everyone thinks hes a douche

Great stuff from Benn - loving it.

Definitely think going the slog is the Windies best chance of getting close to the target too. None of this trying-to-see-off-the-new-ball business.

Bollinger should look at bowling a bit more full. He won't catch the edge against these tailenders bowling it aat good length because the ball is deviating so much.

Then I'd fly over to Australia today to beat them personally.
:laugh:

Dougeh might have to try a couple right-handed here to the tail. Left-handed he's just a bit too good. 120kph knee-high full toss should produce a wicket.

EDIT: :laugh: Benn can give it a whack.

EDIT 2: Unfortunately it's over.
