I think the needle is stuck
But tooooooo much cricket being played at times in a confined time period
That the Australian superstar skipper may not board the plane with his team mates to the West Indies says it all
Whatjah gotta expect when they play a tri series, and about 2 days later fly to the Northern Hemisphere

He suggested that he returned too early despite a recommendation from the physio to sit out for longer.
You raise a fair point mal but if he wasn't playing for Australia he probably would've lined up for NSW, a better training regime would probably be more apt.

You're talking about CA here, vice captaincy seems to be a figurehead more than an active role, IMO Watto shouldn't be captain, he's too heavily relied on for his batting and bowling, could do without the extra pressure of captaincy, he would be 2nd guessing where to bat himself or when to bring himself on.

Just a thought, deserves the captaincy though.

Haddin is still VC and according to CA the other day he will keep in the tests.
Wade is backup test keeper but will keep in the other forms.
Who knows by time the Windies tour comes around though

No watson is.

If Clarke does miss, I think this will mean Peter Forrest will debut.
Watson, Forrest and Pattinson in
marsh, Clarke and Harris(one of the bowlers) out

Jim, Watson is vice captain.

Fair enough, Haddin was last test but forgot Watto was still out.
Would assume that Watto will captain and Haddin VC then

Yeah that's why haddin was VC that test. And I would think your right.

If warner misses as well, who will come in? Bailey? Watson to open, punter to 3?

Here's a cat.

I'm going to chuck it amongst the pigeons!

My view - David Warner should go to 3.

Mickey Arthur has already said in a full strength side, Watson will bat 3. Doubt it will happen

We will never have a full strength side as you rightly point out ;)
