Australia can't win much without Shane Watson it seems. Let this be a lesson!

They surely can, but can they win major tour at ease without captain Ponting ? it remains to be seen.

Watto might be fit to bowl for the next game, so he could well be brought in. They'll be saved from shame if so.

It does seem very bizarre to me how they've gone with batting and bowling specialists for this tournament. Obviously Watto has been injured but the other teams such as NZ, Pak have shown how having a number of 'all-rounders' (at least in some sense of the word) works in this format.

England are dire. Can't even beat India or Sri Lanka at home. Clearly they don't count.
As Richard would say, "not test standard."

I think its more to do with the unpredictable nature of T20 cricket that has led to Australia losing games in this series, i think the major problem with Australia is when they have batted first they haven't been able to set a decent target on the board (because they try to get 400 of 20 overs, atleast that is the way they bat) i think Australia should assess the pitch-conditions well a set a realistic target for them and then bat accordingly.
Btw, wasn't Watto a part of the Australian team in the CB series Final 1, Final 2 and the 3 games in the C-H series in New Zealand?

Nah, all Watto IMO.
Well, he was only just coming back from injury then. Also...pup11 said:

If you lose against Australia without Watson then yes, you are.FFS, we may be bad, but we're not that bad!

Shut up, or we'll make you shut up.
I think Ponting, Hayden, Gilchritst, Hussey and Lee might disagree with this argument...Mind you they won today with him (but he didn't finish his spell. He was clutching his hamstring). The Aussies thought he would be their answer to Flintoff. He is. He's an allrounder who can't stay fit either....
