*Official* 2nd Test at Lord's

[Spikey]

This might save Watto given them not wanting too many changes at once?

no way. particularly with starc fit.

I hope so. Need to see at least one more Twatto wasted review.

his LO career will still continue

Hope all's well in Haddin's family, but this is a blessing in disguise for Australia now. MMarsh for Watson is the only other change required, provided Starc is fully fit.

 

[Julian87]

Tough to ask of a keeper batsman, but especially fi Marsh comes in, Nevill at 6 would be the go for mine.

 

[Swingpanzee]

If it's truly personal reasons being responsible for Haddin not playing the next test, then hope all's well with him and his family (especially his daughter's health).

 

[Furball]

Was Watto out LBW to Murali in one of the first, if not first LBW DRS decisions?

Not unless Watson was playing for India in 2008.

 

[Tangles]

Hope all is ok with Rads family. Will be a big test for Nev but I think he will be up for it. Helps the team batting wise if he calm his nerves. Keeping should be fine although more than 1 (?) practice game would have been useful for a Lords dayboo.

 

[howardj]

I'm sure if it was a health issue, Hadds would be heading home. Hope it doesn't mean Hadds comes straight back in regardless

 

[NUFAN]

Not unless Watson was playing for India in 2008.

Sorry i meant one of the first Tests Australia used DRS.

 

[Niall]

watson not playing second test despite smashing the spinners in the nets.

[Compton]

Wow. After all the great technique he showed in not letting the wrong 'un hit his pads?

He'll ask for a review surely?

 

[four_or_six]

Bizarre to drop him after one test... makes you wonder why they played him in the first one.

 

[Watson33]

Probably wanted his bowling after Harris wasn't available. But he didn't bowl too many overs so they've picked Marsh to bat and potentially send a few down.

DRS outcome 'selector's call'

 

[weldone]

With Watson and Haddin replaced by MMarsh and Nevill, and Starc staying fit England should be worried now.

Yeah petrified, two guys that have never played in England on one of our more idiosyncratic pitches. Nevill a worse 'keeper than Rad isn't he?

 

[Spark]

What? Where did you hear that?

 

[grecian]

I dunno, I'm making things up at this stage......
