I will go for facepalm, unless we rearrange the squad and drop shit and pick up decent players That's not going to happen, becuase if you noticed, ricky said 'we', and if 'we' drop the shit and pick up decent players ricky won't be there.

Bad light brings an early end to the days play. South Africa finish 111/3, Kallis 12* De Villiers 17*. SA need another 192 runs to win.

Seems to be a serious problem, especially for a high order batsman.

It seems like Watson's always out in the middle when there's a player run-out. Is he hard of hearing or something? Not only that, but he's generally on strike too. He's a quiet caller, they were talking about it on 9 today.

Definitely the loss of Katich isn't helping things, Sydcro. But would it be making THAT much difference? Watson's been the most consistent? Until this test, Hussey hadn't been dismissed for less than 50 all series. And even with Watson batting one more innings, and Hussey failing this test, he still has nearly 200 runs more for the series, and an average 25 points higher than Watson. There's no way you can say Hussey hasn't been Australia's best batsman this series. He's been miles ahead of the rest.

It wouldn't make a massive difference, but it would help having two openers who you know could put on a 100-150 run opening stand. Just don't get that feeling with Hughes.

TBF with Watson, as an opener I don't care about him getting a big score. I want my openers to set up the innings with a good 100-150 run partnership. Big scores are just a bonus imo. Watson has been holding up his end of that deal and if Katich hadn't got injured he would have had someone who is capable of holding up the other end, with Hughes he doesn't have that, which is why not getting a big score suddenly looks bad.

A little bit, but all of the batsmen except Hussey have failed this series, and all of the bowlers have bowled poorly. It's the entire team who have lost this series, and while Pontings part of that, I wouldn't consider him the main problem. I wouldn't say Shane Watson has been terrible. If every batsman had turned our a performance like his we wouldn't be in this mess. Watson has been good, but for an opener to get 4 50's and not carry one of them on to a big score, is inexcusable. That said, He has been the other shining light, with Hussey. To be fair, he scored 41 not out in Brisbane, and he's been run out what...two, three times? He's not exactly getting the support to go on to the 'big score' to which you refer. 95 in Perth is still a quality effort. I'd say he's been the pick of the batsmen this series. He hasn't been run out at all. He's been involved in two of them, but hasn't actually been run out himself. As for not getting the support, He's never been later than the 4th wicket to fall, in any innings this series. The supports been there, he just hasn't made the most of it. Bit unfair on Hussey to say Watson has been the pick of the batsmen. And I assume you mean Pick of the Aussie batsmen.
