Aussies lack of a back up batsmen grrr

[brockley]

We did this in s africa last test replaced marcus north with bryce mcgain and lost didn't know bryce could bat so high.
Now we have north 3 failures,only 6 fit batsmen,watson wlking laps,probably will walk laps all series.
Seriously this is a joke,can't play first warm up,can't play 2nd warm up,can't play first test,why is watson still here.
God forbid we have an injury may have to call up bryce mcgain again to bat at 6

I've heard strong rumours the only reason Watson's still there is because he's applied for a working holiday visa and will soon be seen pouring pints at a pub in Hampstead Heath.

Sounds about right.

North to ton-up in Cardiff.

I hope North does ton up. I mean it's only one First Class innings where North has failed. Sure he didn't look flash yesterday but I'm prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt for the first Test or two, if he looks out of his depth and does nothing with the ball, I would bring a guy in.

At least the reserve batsman will have been playing either County Cricket or Australia A.

I know this is irrelevant but on the subject of replacements,i remember reading that Shaun Tait is playing for an English county 5th's team or something and will be for the ashes duration, just in case injury strikes Lee, Clark, Siddle, Hilfenhaus, Johnson, Bollinger, Warne, McGrath, Gillespie, Lillee and Thompson.
