But nice one about "bowled over". Anyway, I've only ever commented on Watson's cricket and not his looks so perhaps you are right. I agree with all of your other comments - players can cement their place in the team when performing against ordinary opposition. Then when they run up against a good team like South Africa (and England in England), guys like Hussey and Hayden come undone. andrewg, I meant to say that teenage girls and grandmothers need not comment and you have confirmed that I should have done so.
