they showed him training last night, he was slips catching from a standing position, and jogging. He said he needed to up the intensity to prove his fitness.

Calf injuries are exacerbated by take off, the explosive movement of taking off for a run, or diving full length.

 

[Viscount Tom]

From all reports in the newspapers today, apparently he can run properly

By that I take you don't mean he's worked out how to run between the wickets.

It be so c00l that Clarkeh's average is now higher than H00sseys.

 

[Prince EWS]

how do you know he didn't pull it while batting, felt it was ok to keep playing, then when trying to bowl went ahh **** nah

Which doesn't address that now that he is injured, he cant run properly which was my point.

Because he bowled three overs one day, bowled one the next and then decided to pack it in.

 

[Spikey]

how do you know he didn't have a net in between

pretty good discussion about watson The Cricket Sadist Hour : The Cricket Sadist Hour | Shane Watson's ex-problem | Cricket videos, MP3, podcasts, cricket audio | ESPN Cricinfo

 

[uvelocity]

maybe he did a trent and fell down the stairs

although I feel he's more a fall up the stairs kind of guy

 

[Viscount Tom]

Tbh he strikes me as the sort of bloke who'd trip over on a flat surface.

 

[Red]

With the advancements in modern robotics why can't they to get Watson right?

 

[Spark]

They want to be careful about this short-bowling plan to Clarke. I mean, it's a fair plan, but I do sort of remember what happened the last time they tried a constant bouncer barrage to him...

 

[Pup Clarke]

So they wait for him to get a double then come up with a plan? Sound logic SA.

Michael Clarke ‏@MClarke23

Our last training session tomorrow before the 2nd test. Boys are ready to go! Will announce our 11 players tomorrow at my press conference.

 

[Top_Cat]

Yeah, reckon Hilf's in trouble. Adelaide's not his sort of track, I reckon. Leftie coming in from the Torrens is never a bad thing too so.....

 

[Prince EWS]

I'd be very surprised if Hilfenhaus played in all honesty. And I think it's the right call to leave him out too.

 

[Top_Cat]

Look, as long as we don't hear bull**** about how they weren't going to play him anyway, was his rotation, etc. I'll be a happy man.

 

[Spikey]

there's no way they're naming the team so early and not dropping hilf. i'm putting jono's account on the line damnit

greg chappell to appear on ACA after Hilf's triumphant return at the WACA

 

[benchmark00]

Reverse tang to be on show in Adelaide.

 

[Burgey]

Left armer gives some decent foot marks for Lyon to bowl into, plus Hilf was **** in Brisbane

 

[Spikey]

oh so we're all backing the play starc cause he provides footmarks idea now are we? **** you all, bitches. peace out
