Is he still going to bowl in ODIs?

Yes I know, that's because he's not fit yet. He will play ODIs again.
Perhaps, more likely than in tests. He is better than D Christian.

The Test series went along fairly predictable lines - although SL were slightly more competitive than expected in Hobart and Sydney (especially without KS) and a fair bit worse than expected in Melbourne.
Don't really understand why SL went in with three pacemen at Sydney considering their respective records. Did they get influenced by the talk pre-match that the SCG wasn't as spin friendly as its reputation made it out to be?
I think for a few years now the SCG pitch is the best cricket wicket in Australia - such a contrast from the dreary ones dished up by Peter Leroy in the 1980s/90s which favoured no one except spin.

WIth such a poor conversion rate ,why is everyone convince Watson is the best man to partner Warner at the top of the order?Cowan will remain at the top of the order,especially so since Hussey has retired.Khawaja selection in the odi squad might be a hint he"ll be the one to replace Hussey.

Not sure I see the similarity, though I'd love to see Phil Hughes on Stars in their Eyes shaking his maracas.

I agree that his conversion rate is poor, but he's a much better player than Cowan and his best position is at the top of the order imo. Perhaps my opinion is skewered that way as I don't rate Cowan all that highly.

Neither do I rate Cowan.However we need to look at the bigger picture here.Australia"s batting depth is at an all time low.Hussey has now retired and the only real sensible option ia Khawaja (and before you say Maxwell let him dominate for two seasons and establish himself in the odi team first) .All the other batting options are either not quite there yet or too old.Who do you propose will replace Cowan?I remember on most of these boards most persons were calling for Clarke"s head and look at what he has done since.I"m not saying Cowan is in the same ball park as Clarke but let's have more patience. I think he has shown something and I believe he"ll get better.
