Depends on the pitch IMO. If its anything like that at TB then they go with the guy they think can keep things tight. I would say that's Bresnan, but I've not seen him bowl much...
Stats like this are always misleading.
It's the only pro-Watson post I've ever made.
Disagree. They had a worse record with him pre-2005 too. England were always a weaker team with him batting at 6
Monty and Ben Stokes too. I have to say, I'm not at all confident if Ben Stokes is in line for the number 6 spot.
Yeah, well Stokes can only be thought of, if they're thinking of going with two spinners. Yet he can't bat which is a problem for a 6.
brilliant that they're finally bothering to release stuff like this.
But Twatto narked on Warner the first opportunity he got.
On his way to a brutal 1/79 no doubt.
Don't see how that's relevant, Watson strikes me as the sort to step on his own grandmother if there's gains to be made for Shane Watson.
If you are going to lay the boot in that hard about his first couple of Ashes series at least give him a bit of credit for his success, he was more than just 'good' last time, he was excellent, averaged 66 and was in supreme knick the whole tour.
disappointed with Root there re Finn bowling to him and Root defending.
