Jesus must have had skilful footwork compared to these two.

An opening batting partnership of Jesus and Vishnu, now that'll be a sight.

Thicko was voted by Robi as Englands best opener ever and never moved his feet once.

Proverbs 18:10 explain the popping crease and how not to get run out: "the righteous runneth into it, and is safe".

How many 90s did Fred have at that stage?

Watto would just about be the first person selected in the Test XI after the c & vc these days. Who'da thunk that 6 months ago?

Re: Watto v Fredo
25 wickets from 16 Tests - even against poor opposition this summer he's not really taken advantage that much.

No arguing with the numbers there Zimmy, it's not a bad start to his career - wonder if he'll win another 50 caps.
Andy after 66 Tests
3285 runs @ 32.21
196 wickets @ 31.90
He did well to improve his batting avg by 12, while taking 10 off his bowling average, retiring as a competent all rounder. Do you think Watto will improve his figures - or even maintain them, assuming he continues to be selected for the next 5 years or so?
Chalk and cheese.
No truer words ever written. As a sportsman, Freddie is universally respected. The pictures of him consoling Lee are some of the most memorable of the last decade.
Watson, on the other hand, is a complete and utter dick-wad. His antics on dismissing Gayle the other week were as embarrassing as anything I've ever seen on a sports field ....... even Aus fans were ashamed at it.

I still can't get past Watson's boofiness, even ignoring his insane dismissal-dance.
A commentator said yesty, 'he's bowling with intelligence' and my brain automatically refused that claim.
However, he's a Mighty Blue - and that my friends is why he's standing up and being counted.

To be fair, G111, he don't bowl that much at the moment as the fifth option . . .

Re: Watto v Fredo
you would have to say the poor opposition is why he hasn't "cashed in" that much - he hasn't been needed. 13 @ 25 isn't shabby
Still he is primarily going to be a batsman who bowls a bit (else he will break) - so if he can chip in with a couple here and there I will be more than happy

Yes, he's a batting all rounder really isn't he? So his model is more Jacques Kallis (wouldn't he just love to be!) rather than Flintoff who was a bowling all rounder. That being the case, irrespective of the opposition, those figures aren't too shabby at all.
