No Haydos?

dont need him, go for the youngsters at the top i say..

 

[Nate]

Selectors! Look at Bracken`s record! Stop looking for reasons to replace him.

C`mon Australia (Jaques).

 

[Nate]

LOL @ Cosgrove. Pie-central.

 

[Nate]

Watto to open. Why not?

 

[aussie]

Watson opening, good stuff selectors

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

I like the idea. Hope he goes well, I love him to bits tbh.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

2.4  	Agarkar to Watson, no run, full on middle stump, Watson gets forward and pushes past midwicket for one

:|

 

[Great Birtannia]

Watson to keep in the next match? They've played him in every other position except the one he is suited too

It is an interesting move though. The selectors obviously feel they need an "anchor" at the top of the order, why?

Oh well at least when Watson scores slowly he generally goes on and makes a big score, something Katich never does. It can't hurt giving it a shot.

I love Watto too. It's just about a dream opening pair for me.

A lot of people won't know what I'm on about, but does anyone else think 'Tesco value' everytime they load Cricinfo and there's that picture of Ricky the chimp in that Travelex cap?

Keeps me amused anyway.

I had noticed that it looked like that, I can't get passed the fact he just looks like an idiot in that picture.

Decent enough start by India after the other day, just need to not let anyone dominate like Gayle did the other day. Probably isn't going to happen though!

 

[kwigibo]

I hope they're giving them an extra drinks break. That or they wring the shirts out to replenish fluids.

 

[aussie]

Thats it Watto, i'm thinking it Gilchrist/Watson at the top in the World Cup?, ye i like it..

 

[Johnners]

After a steady first few overs it's good to See them really open their shoulders!!! Go Watto go..make the most of the life the Turbinator gave you!!

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Woah, all of a sudden they're past 50. What's going on!

I don't see Watson opening too much, having to bat 50 and bowl 10 crucial overs in a World Cup is going to be a bit much for him IMO.

 

[kwigibo]

See how two 100% openers equals Gilchrist's 150% and Katich's 50%.

It's simple ratios, you'd think Buchanan and his 15 laptop computers could figure it out.

 

[kwigibo]

And now I went and jinxed Jaques

He'd be doing well to bat for 50...but hell, i wouldn't complain

 

[oz_fan]

Jaques out for 25 after a good partnership with Watson.

 

[Dravid]

India dropped a catch but got a wicket not long after. The run rate is a bit a high that just needs to come down but otherwise I think India are doing fine.

 

[Dravid]

OUT! Ponting gone! The batsman that we knew was going to cause a problem for the Indians is out. And who gets him out? No one else the one who got critized for his poor form.

 

[andyc]

Good idea with Watson opening. Love the guy
