If this is the case is he in the Australia's top 6 batsmen? I don't think so.
Yet people think Wade or Haddin should bat in the Top 6
I know who id rather batting for me
ill take Wade over watson any day

Probably unlikely, we're not currently in a position to take players across as a project. But would be interesting to know if he's on the selectors' radar at all.
Would rather him go to England to play club cricket if he was to go over. Needs solid results at first class level for the remainder of this season and next one as well. Then maybe ready for the 2014/15 summer.

Also explains why a true batsman is better than someone can bat. Wade and Haddin fans take note.

Would think the batting/bowling all rounder debate is completely different to the keeper batsmen/specialist keeper debate.
The one stat that cant be measured from all this is the effect having a 5th bowler has on the four specialist bowlers, given they can get an extra long rest, bowling fresher, used in more efficient ways etc etc.
Pretty much the way i read the Watson situation is if
-if he can bowl to his recent standard than he has value in the side as an allrounder (remember he did hit 86 last dig, you would take that every day of the week even though its not a 100)
-his overall batting performance of late hasnt earnt him a spot in the middle order, if his not bowling he cant play as a specialist middle order batsmen.
-his batting is below what Cowan has produced, though imho he has the better potential to make it as a 'world class' opening bat but Cowan deserves the chance to remain as the opener, if his form slumps than Watson would be a great replacement.

Did you read the article? Simply put, he isn't good enough. He can bat, like an all rounder, but not good enough to play as a specialist batsman. Just like Wade and Haddin.

Funniest thing I've read. He has averaged something like 11.3 this shield year. Under 30 in his first class career.
No thanks!
Would rather ferguson at 6 and I'm no ferguson fan that's for sure
