    What's the matter with Watson's batting?

    Watson failed again this time against NSW in both forms of the game. Should he even be in the Queensland side on current form?

    The Aussie FAT XI

    Phil Emery would be keeper before Tim Zoehrer.

    What's the matter with Watson's batting?

    Credit to Watson. He made 70 tonight. He needs more scores consistently and prove his durability. Players like Hussey, Jaques, Hayden, Hodge and M.Waugh had to slam the door down with runs and S.Clark took a truckload of wickets for NSW before being picked.

    What's the matter with Watson's batting?

    No it's not ignorant. He has to prove himself with form, fitness and durability. He just can't waltz back into the team after every injury. Noffke deserves his shot in the ODI side before Watson right now if they want to select an all-rounder at No.7.

    What's the matter with Watson's batting?

    People would like Watson if he earned his position. He hasn't done that in recent times. He really needs to produce the goods for Queensland and more than just 1-2 games. He may have a technically correct defensive shot and drive, but is he attractive to watch? I guess us Aussies have been...

    What's the matter with Watson's batting?

    He should earn his position. Now he's bowled two overs for Queensland and avoided getting four ducks in a row he'll get his International recall. Mental toughness. When the chips are down he struggles to bounce back and he breaks down too easily. His pain threshold is extremely low. Players...

    All time worst Australian one day team

    Where's Shane Watson? Can't have a worst team without the crock.

    Name some of your best Test innings

    Some outstanding knocks Kim Hughes - 100* v West Indies 1981/82 One of the all-time great innings of courage, shots and determination. Coming in at 3/8 and Australia in serious trouble. Hughes took the attack to the might of the Windies on a terrible pitch for batting. The next highest score in...

    What's the matter with Watson's batting?

    Phil Jaques isn't technically correct, but he's scoring runs at the highest level and displays mental toughness. Two attributes Watson doesn't have.

    What's the matter with Watson's batting?

    If Watson earned his position in the side and wasn't given a charmed ride then he would be a respected player. The stuff about ghosts, his antics when a team gets on top of him and the relentless run of injuries makes him even more of a target. Should he earn his position in the future it will...

    What's the matter with Watson's batting?

    Watson back in form with a brilliant knock of 15. He at least avoided being dismissed by Tait.

    What's the matter with Watson's batting?

    Symonds is a match-winner. His batting is only getting better, he can jag a wicket like Mark Waugh or Doug Walters and his fielding his breath taking. Australia needs an Andrew Symonds or Mark Waugh or Doug Walters in their side no matter who else is around at the time. Match winners are like...

    What's the matter with Watson's batting?

    Gillespie proved himself as an outstanding performer from day one and every time he performed until he lost his way. Watson has brought it on himself with his antics the day Jayasuria embarrassed him at the SCG, his carry ons when he gets a wicket and the whole ghosts thing. He hasn't earned...

    What's the matter with Watson's batting?

    Difference between Bond and Watson is that Bond when fit is an outstanding Cricketer and a genuine match-winner. Bond is one of the rare class players the Kiwis have. It's a shame that he never got to play consistently. I would compare Bond to Bruce Reid not the myth.

    What's the matter with Watson's batting?

    Gillespie has a Test double hundred and has scored a century at both County and Shield levels. He is a better all-round prospect then the myth called Watson. And I'm not saying he should be there. We don't need an all-rounder. I'm listing better all-round options then quacker. We have Symonds at...

    What's the matter with Watson's batting?

    He'll only find another way to get injured and more so when the going gets tough.

    What's the matter with Watson's batting?

    Watson is an over-rated myth. He's been the biggest non-event in Australian Sport for the last 10 years. If Australia want an all-rounder they should look at Noffke and Gillespie long before Watson. Not to mention Hogg is very handy. As for opening batsman. The depth is a bit thin at state...

    Australia's best ever ODI side

    Apparently it was recently named: Mark Waugh Adam Gilchrist Dean Jones Ricky Ponting Steve Waugh Michael Bevan Andrew Symonds Simon O'Donnell Shane Warne Dennis Lillee Glenn McGrath The only topical selection could be Symonds ahead of Greg Chappell. The rest picked themselves.

    Disappointing players

    Merv Hughes sorted out Hick in 1993. I don't think it was a weakness as such in his game. He just wasn't mentally strong. Of the Aussie players mentioned: Mark Waugh: My favourite ever player. His ODI record is one of the best of all-time. He should have averaged higher but his record in...

    Stuart Law granted British citizenship

    If given the opportunity Law would play for England in no time. He certainly has more chips on his shoulder than any other Cricketer presently or before him. He should be lucky he played in 54 ODI's.
