Good old Watson, Wait until the pressure is off and then perform..Get rid of him and his insipdly weak body and give someone else an opportunity....and at the same time get rid of Cowan as well and Warner too..rant over
Thought he was of average talent with a less than spectacular shot catalog when he debuted as captain, but he is really leading from the front in the short formats...any reason why he couldnt force his way into the Ashes team in this form, couldnt be that hard with the bunch we have.

Is he the answer, well of course not, there is no answer in the short to medium term for CA.
You keep pumping up Uzys tyres and he continues to fail or fail to take his chances, has been given a few chances to date, looks a million dollars at the crease until he finds another way to get out.
Not saying Bailey should be in the team, but you could probably argue giving him a chance given how fragile our batting lineup is, could provide a cool head down the order.
Although quite an annoying happy clapper, he does go in to detail how hard it is to get yourself set coming in as an occasional batsman.
Oh and Watson, Johnson and Haddin should be back here too give some guys like Hartley and Dan Christian a go while giving anyone considered for the Ashes 4 day cricket as a proper lead up. But it'll never happen as the BCCI would crack the sh*ts and SA found out you don't want to get on their bad side. So we'll forsake our lead up to the most important test series in years to keep them happy................
He deserves a chance IMO, he isn't going to take the spot of anyone worth a mention..
As for the series Harris is the absolute key. Swann was the difference in Enland but on our tracks he won't be anywhere near as affective and Harris is the best seamer from either side by a margin. If he stays fit we'll give it a huge shake. Our middle order is vulnerable though, I'll be interested to see what would happen if its 1-1 after 3 tests and Bailey or Smith are struggling like I expect they will. May see a young M. North get a call up the way he's started this year and with his experience. A long way off yes but don't rule it out.
I would love to see the breakdown of the runs scored between bowlers and batsmen these past 3 years.
I seem to continually be making the same joke about our bowlers scoring all the runs...
Surely the bowlers have been making a higher contribution to the scorecard in recent years than in the past, which of course is a blight on our battling stocks.

Marcus North Comeback on the cards with another ton today! Bailey just needs another 2 or 3 prods into the slips and it's on...........
Great day for the Aus cricket team, need to make England bowl all day tomorrow now and have Broad and Anderson bowl 25 overs each. Both teams are one or 2 bowlers breaking down from dissaster so the longer we can bat the better.

With helmets, arm & chest guards these days No.11's are fair game.
Warner is a dick-head and needs to learn to leave it on the field. The ACB should ban him from speaking to the media and all forms of social media.
