A decent selection panel would have recognised this. He should have been in the test squad to India ahead of some more talented but mentally weaker players.

Khawaja ?

I don't reckon Khawaja has been given a proper go yet. How many times has he been called up and dropped already in his short career? About four?

The first time he was dropped was fully justified. He HAS been moved in & out somewhat since his re-selection but has, once again, failed to take what chances he HAS been given. In my view he lacks the mental toughness to play at this level.

If I remember correctly he was dropped after his debut test where he showed a lot of promise. Australia went with Shaun Marsh in Sri Lanka instead. Hard to say that's fully justified.

Played three tests with a high score of 36 & an average of 25

Really? I thought he played the last Ashes test at Sydney, and was then dropped for Australia's next test in Sri Lanka in mid 2011. Have I missed a series between that?

by Henry Sun 03 Feb 2013, 07:59

Ah, my mistake. He played in Sri Lanka at number 6.

by Big Dog Sun 03 Feb 2013, 08:01

Still, he has a test average of 29. Too frail for a top order batsman.

by Henry Sun 03 Feb 2013, 08:03

Clarke, Wade and Warner are the only Aus test bats who are playing without fear of failure. All the others, you can see they are shitting themselves about getting out.

by Henry Sun 03 Feb 2013, 08:08

James Brayshaw really is clueless- "If Watson can stay fit and average between 45 and 60 in Australia's next 11 tests, they'll have a serious batting lineup."

Yeah, and if they find a way to bring a 25 year old Bradman back to life, they'll do pretty good as well.

by Red Sun 03 Feb 2013, 08:12

Maybe the Windies need Stafanie Taylor next to the crease. Smile

Serious batting line-up? Who apart from Clarke has been consistent over the past two years? Hussey's gone, Hughes hasn't proved himself, Warner's hit and miss, Cowan's not really test class. We don't know who will bat at #6.

Bit of rubbish followed by a fast indipper to the Lara-lookalike. Looked plumb but referred.

by skully Sun 03 Feb 2013, 08:14

Absolutely plumb.

by skully Sun 03 Feb 2013, 08:14

Bravo gawn. 3 fer.

by Big Dog Sun 03 Feb 2013, 08:16

Desperation review. Starc continues to impress.

by Henry Sun 03 Feb 2013, 08:17

The Bravo brothers are two of the most overrated players in world cricket.

by Big Dog Sun 03 Feb 2013, 08:18

Can i just say that Jack Daniels & Cherry Zero is'nt too bad. drunken

by Red Sun 03 Feb 2013, 08:20

Bravo should do better but you knew Gayle was in trouble against Starc because he doesn't move his feet.

by skully Sun 03 Feb 2013, 08:26

Nice tonk into the crowd by Powell.

by skully Sun 03 Feb 2013, 08:42

Qunt starting to go the journey.

by skully Sun 03 Feb 2013, 08:44

Dwayne Bravo starting to have some fun. With Pollard still to come, this ain't over.

by skully Sun 03 Feb 2013, 08:45

C'mon Midge, ya big pussy. Give him some chin music.

by Big Dog Sun 03 Feb 2013, 08:53

M'Kayyyyy looks like being the bunny in this game going for 6 per over. Maxwell on but i can't see him doing much.

by skully Sun 03 Feb 2013, 08:54

Yoody clearly showing he's worth $1Mill. Golden duck and now getting carted.

by skully Sun 03 Feb 2013, 09:03

10 and 13 off the Million Dollar man's 2 overs so far. PMSL.

by skully Sun 03 Feb 2013, 09:03

Windies will piss this in if they keep their heads.

by Henry Sun 03 Feb 2013, 09:05

Million dollar Max. New nickname?

by skully Sun 03 Feb 2013, 09:28

Decent maiden JAMODI 50 by Powell.

by skully Sun 03 Feb 2013, 09:32

Pretty good 100 stand to recover the innings and now put the Windies in a winning position.
