More Watson fun

The question is, does Watson's propensity for LBW sit at the back of the mind of umpires such that even a marginal call is likely to get given out as "he normally is" and then the DRS decision goes "Umpire's Call"? Is there now an inherent positive bias in international cricket against Watson due to his own silly use of DRS?

[uknsaunders]

Does Watson ever get a decision overturned using DRS, answer no. Therefore the umpire is pretty safe giving him out. Use your bat and not the pad is the moral of the story.

Can't see Haddington being dropped just yet, like has been said he is Clarke go to man and his experience will keep him in the side for next test. Never seen or heard much about this Neville guy either

Personally for me sidle has to play and but can't decide if I would drop Johnson just yet, although he did better with bat than ball he is still there trump bowler for me. Would be great if they did but can't see it

Watson well from and English point of view I would love to see him keep his place but would be a brave call espicially if he stays at 6, I feel he will get chopped and that will be the end for him. Just watched that video of dismissals and reviews the bloke must have the ego the side of Southend pier to review some of those lol

All these Watson videos have made my day. Enjoy this one.

Watsons selection in the side is an interesting one. Given Mitch Marsh's batting form leading in, the selectors basically said that Watson's bowling is better. If you're picking him based on his bowling being better then surely he has to bowl more than 8 overs in a 102 over innings where the opposition team makes over 400.
With Harris being out I think Siddle has to play as the workhorse bowler, which he does well. If my memory is correct the Aussies haven't done as well when playing 2 left armers + 1 right armer. Although this might be more a case of Starc and Johnson being too similar and aggressive type bowlers with a tendency to leak runs.
A poor performance at Lords by the Aussies will all but certainly see the series get away from them. A win is a must.

Don't know whats happening to me, but I am starting to feel a bit sorry for Watson. He's shown that he is a tool, but it is getting a bit out of hand. He does have a family and they must see all of these video's circulating on social media.

Anyway... Pat Cummins will play next test, you heard it here first.

Don't know about the comment about none of the Aussies making it into the England team (Sigh). Id say: Warner, Smith, Clarke, Johnson, Starc, would all be automatic starters, Lyon is a better spinner than Ali but Id have Ali for his batting.

[skip1973]

Watsons out of chances for me, unfortunately Marsh is a bowler that leaks runs so he won't fit with Starc and Johnson. Johnson goes for me unless the wicket is much faster. So Siddle and Marsh in for Watson and Johnson, I'd rather have Neville there as well but can't see them dropping Haddin yet.

Yes  looking to the furture only Smith though ( who could have been playing for England)   to eventually replace Bell

Broad has a family too it's the ashes

Watches Cummins in Ireland he looks sharp to me but isn't he too fragile

[uknsaunders]

He's not played a first class game in 2 years - that's fairly fragile! I can't see them picking Cummins until he has at least played a warm up game. Would be a massive risk with Starc's ankle, Watson's dodgy back or Marsh playing his first test.

Marsh has played 4 tests so not his first. Agree that I can't see cummins in just yet.
