Watson's international career will have ended today. Been a fan of his but I think he has become a little lethargic in the last couple of years. At least he ended the ODIs as a World Cup winner, in which he played played his part. He is one of those guys who should have had a batting average in the low to middle 40s and bowling average around 30. A batting average of 35 and bowling of 33 is pretty decent but he hasn't been a big match winner in the mould of even someone like A Flintoff, who is actually a lesser player than Watson but made more of his career.

A bowling average in the low 30's is a pretty reasonable effort for an all-rounder but yeah - he should have averaged 42-45 with the bat at least.

If Starc is out and we get Siddle that's a blow. He can bowl tight but not convinced he's a threat at this level anymore. No choice with Cummins as the other option. That was such a ****ty pick.

Can we amputate Siddles legs and donate them to Ryan?

This one might have been the best wicket for Sidds.

Yeah, but he's pretty loose - feet go to the same spot, doesn't really use the back foot much. He's a guy who benefitted from being injured for three years when young, spent them all on the ball machine.

Speaking of bowlers who can bat, what's the word on Pattinson?

Healy's attempts at analysis are just so good. Earlier he listed the percentages of deliveries that Broad landed in the "good" "full" and "short" lengths, adding up naturally to 100, and concluded that he was so successful as a bowler because he got every ball to land in these areas.

Watson isn't really an all-rounder though is he,/all very well talking about averages, but he takes 1.3 wickets a match. He's a batsman that bowls. In Tests anyway.

BTW, England are doing well, but surely they must still be trying to fit Gregory into the side, only makes sense too.
