Tour match thread -Scotland v Australia Aug 28

[evertonfan]

I love Watson.

Big fat, enormous, massive epic fail to all those who said he couldn't do it at Test level.

Still think he should give up bowling though.

 

[Howsie]

Is there even a point to the match...

Are they supposed to bat twice? Or is it one innings each (would make sense).

The point of this match is to get some practice. If this is only a two dayer then of course they're not going to bat twice.

 

[Covvy]

It'll be very handy if Watto will be able to bowl like he used to.

 

[evertonfan]

But he's more likely to injure himself if he continues bowling, thus reducing the chances of him making a big impact with his batting.

 

[Howsie]

I still think James Harris is one for the future, he may be playing in the second division but he's one heck of a talent.

 

[Sureshot]

Has been for ages. Played for the U-19s a lot and been successful. He can bat as well.

 

[iridescentt]

Now their technically into the tail. Carberry sure has had a workout out on the field.

 

[iridescentt]

Stuart Clarks on fire.

Go son. Go!

EDIT: I seem to be jinxing everyone today.

 

[Hooper]

Watson is getting peoples hopes up again. Haha at you fools. He will only get injured again. Hes about as tough as a freshly borned wallaby.

 

[aussie1st]

Love his scoring rate, now just needs to convert into a 100. Usually story for Hussey gets a 50 then gets out.

 

[Hooper]

Yeah, he is turning into Australia's version of Ian Bell. Needs to push on ffs.

 

[Ollie_H]

No, no , no Hooper he is not! Ian bell gets to 30 and then getd out. Big difference.

 

[Hooper]

Haha, I won't argue with that Ollie.

Lets just hope he remembers where his off stump is in the last test and score some runs!

 

[sifter132]

Big day for Brett Lee with the ball. Probably needs an impressive 5fer to leapfrog Siddle and Clark since I assume Hauritz will be back in at the Oval, as a spinner would be handy there.

Watson will need some overs under his belt too. He looked very rusty in those 3 overs at Edgbaston.

 

[Ollie_H]

I mean come on, how are you supposed to congratulate someone on 200 when on 199 they get out to someone who has worse than Nathan Hauritz. Pure bottler material.

Maybe we could sub in Rory Hamilton Brown of Sussex, he looks a good player, uses the same kit as Bell and they bat similar. Maybe he has a better temperemant?
