Now about 12 more runs for Watson.

 

[Prince EWS]

"He's a natural match-winner"

"He's a swashbucker"

"He's the X factor"

"He can turn a match on its head in an instant"

"<Any other cliché that kept MEW in the OZ line-up for 18 months more than he deserved>"

mew isn't a very good sweeper ftr

 

[vicky]

Should bring back Quiney to help shield Hughes again tbh...

 

[ajdude]

mew isn't a very good sweeper ftr

very hard to catch him though

 

[Cevno]

Going down probably..

 

[ganeshran]

Jadeja to Watson brings back some bad memories where he and warner mauled him in World T20

 

[Burgey]

Sorry, is someone comparing Phil Hughes to Mark Waugh?

 

[pup11]

Frankly speaking its just sad to see the kind of stick Hughes copes whenever he fails, he is sailing on the same boat like all other batsmen, yet he is the one who is always under the spotlight whenever he fails.

He has basically opened the batting all his life and now in very tough conditions he is being asked to start his innings against spin which he clearly isn't used to doing, makes you wonder what these selectors were thinking while picking 5 openers in one squad.

 

[Cevno]

Which other batsman can be given a go instead of the likes of Hughes/Cowan in Australia right now ?

 

[sunilreddy]

UN must intervene on humanitarian grounds and call off this series!

 

[Burgey]

OMG A SUCCESSFUL SWEEP SHOT!!!!!

hasn't shown enough intent imo

Sachin gets more applause for picking his nose than Cowan got for that bondary

 

[Philhughesisbes]

Cowan looks like a walking wicket with each ball he faces.

i reckon smith would go alright against the spinners but khawaja probably deserves a shot apart from that theres not much probably bailey, maddinson, burns, doolan. then theres the guys who have been blacklisted by selectors like rogers and cosgrove

 

[ganeshran]

150 lead needed for australia to make a match out of this

 

[Spikey]

don't run unless it's the last ball #watsonthoughts

Good effort to face a hundred of them then, eh?
