How can we be a thorn in your side if we just go home? :hmmm: No fun in that. :arrgh!:

We can't win, but we can do our best to annoy youse; why do you think we sent Warner to the pub and brought in that new batsman Agar at 11? :D

I see the boxer scored a few runs down in Seth Efrica this week. They are thinking of bringing him back for the 3rd test just to get Joe Root scared he might get thumped again.:D

So which failure do you reckon they'll drop to give this failure a chance at failing? :)

Watson's looking a bit shaky but then so are most of the top order. Don;t see it making much difference TBH. Unless they change their batting style and stop following the ball around like young puppys with no clue.

Jimbuna 07-25-13 09:02 AM

TBH I think Watson is one of your better performers with the bat and he can bowl a bit.

Is there any truth in rumours of a long running rift between him and Clarke?

Dunno about their relationship. I'd say that like most team dynamics you're going to get a variety of good and bad relationships and that will change over time. The press like to make something of it but unless you are in the camp with the team you're never going to have the full story.

Jimbuna 07-26-13 05:46 PM

Well the press over here are starting to make something of it...just thought you would know :hmm2:

Our mob have been trying to make something of it for the past 3 months or so leading up to this tour. Particularly came out when Arthur was sacked as coach and he disclosed that Clarke had apparently said Watson was a cancer in the team or some such.

I don't see that on the field so don't think much of it.

BossMark 07-27-13 11:35 AM

Well we've had Rocky and now we've got Rocky 2
