I think the best we can hope for now is NZ over Aus in the final in another bowled out for 150 epic.

Clearly dropped it on purpose because Australia are worse with Watson at the crease than literally anyone else

The simple fact is, he would be a permanent fixture in any other team in the cup. Shows the selection options that Australia have at the moment.

webmeister: Jan 31, 2007; The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

Shut the gently caress up commentators. Chatting about bouncer repellant in a local match 20 years ago? Top shelf analysis

Watto,

I know I speak for every Australian in this thread when I say we always had faith in you and we are excited you delivered when under pressure yet again and look forward to many more years with you as a fixture in our national side

Earlier I was fast forwarding and stopped to watch a boundary and the only thing I heard from the commentators was Shane Warne saying "pizza".
