Shane Watson is injured (true story)

If you know nothing about cricket, are from another planet or have been living under a rock for the last few years, you might be surprised to hear Shane Watson was injured at training two weeks before the Ashes begins. Some have already questioned if Shane Watson could last through 5 days of hard Test cricket. Or 4 overs of bowling in a Twenty20 game. Or a night in a haunted castle.

Watson has had an unlucky run with injuries. Even the tour of England has been one mishap after another. He pulled a hamstring on the escalator at Heathrow Airport, dislocated his right shoulder attempting to pick up his luggage and got a paper cut reading the morning paper. Cotton wool share prices were said to soar when the Australian squad arrived as the coaching staff looked to buy up all available stock. However, they haven't been able to wrap Watson enough to get him through to the First Test unscathed.

Thanks JC - there are few things i enjoy reading more than a good laugh at Watson's expense.

But I should give him credit for his recent quote about his position in the team
"I'm not exactly sure what the selectors are thinking,"

- couldn't have put it better myself.

He then went on to back this up with "The Twenty20 was the first time I had bowled in a game competitively since Christmas time"

And yet he is in the squad for the longest haul of cricket in the modern game. Perhaps he is there as a case study for sports physios and other rehabilitation staff to develop their skills. I suppose we should give the selectors credit for investing in the future of the support staff.

Ok I've changed my mind about Shane Watson - he can't even make it till the week before a Test Match without breaking down! They'd be mad to risk him - if he does get injured during a Test then Australia would be a batsman AND a bowler short. It's the other side of the coin for allrounders.

Its a joke that Watson has been selected in the Ashes squad. Injury prone all rounder who has no form in first class cricket, in the last 12 months. I feel that Australia has taken a big risk, especially that Hussey has been out of form and Watson is touring as the spare batsman.

Honestly i think Shane Watson is just a 'pretty boy', as far as his bowling i think he's weak.
