That goes without saying that I hope he starts to perform. Sadly the last 3-4 years have shown he probably won't. Just hope he doesn't waste our reviews in the process:)

At least coming in at 6 there is less chance of him burning our reviews

Nope. He does that and the delirium within Australia's cricket HQ about Watson's perceived ability will become legendary

I maintain that he has blackmailed CEO Sutherland with incriminating pics of him with an air hostess :D :p

Coaches, selectors and captains have come and gone yet Shane remains.

I totally concur.

How the hell he gets considered for selection is bewildering. Hands down the most inept, over-rated chook to play for Australia.

It's a credit to the aussies that they've been so successful for so long while playing a man down carrying his dead weight.

To be fair when he finally got his body in order about 5-6 years ago he was an unbelievable player... but he hasn't earned or deserved his spot the last 3 or 4 years

You'll have to forgive me.

Any memory I have of him being anywhere near a good player has been buried in the avalanche of batting failures, injuries and pus at the bowling crease.......
 
I'd be tempted to bring Mitch J back on soon, Starc looked lethal for an over but has sprayed them... see how Root goes with MJ in his face for a burst before lunch
 
Cataholic said:
Starc and Hazlewood are bowling C Grade crap at the moment.

Never been convinced of Hazlewood's credentials at the top, but Starc being off is really hurting.

Problem is Starc has never been 'on' in a test match

White ball... lethal
Red Ball.... awful

Thought a thread dedicated to the Ashes starting tonight wouldn't go astray.

I'm aware that there is a Cricket board... but it's full of nuffies and halfwits... at least those who post here are OUR nuffies and halfwits

I've never bothered looking at the Cricket Board much before, but sheezus, it would have to be the biggest compilation of idiocy I've ever seen. At least on Bay 13 they're actually trying to be stupid.
 
Bring on Day 2!
England probably just got the better of Day 1.
Feel like our bowlers will be better for the run though, especially Starc who really found rhythm late.
If Watto doesn't go well this test I say gotta bring in Mitch Marsh for him.
Also good luck to Voges today if he bats (lets hope not).
