As always, learning experience from this for next time is, unless they bring a very special ability (like huge slogger or comedy act such as being a porker etc), dont play nobody, plodder people. No one wants to see that. They just drag the game down.

Also need to reign in hero players like watto and Lee who cannot read a room. BT is the King on calling them out, but need some sort of punishment system if everyone agrees they are taking it too seriously.

Ideally you pick people with some semblance of a brain, who can work out when the game calls for a “misfield” or a “wicket”. Again this rules out the likes of Watto and Lee.

Edit: Actually, just don’t pick Watson or Lee.

Watson did what he was supposed to do. Hit boundaries and then retire out.

Crashing bore.. no it is a bashing core.. no failing that it is a worthy stunt that can reap millions of mega watts of usage..

Power is king.. power is wandering around an oval with something worth while to do and to do it for...

If you thought that was Brett Lee takings things serious, go and watch footage of him breaking Shane Warnes hand.

A little harsh on Watson, He hit boundaries and sixes to raise money and it didn't effect the result.

well we do like seeing everyone take some things seriously even if they don't have to.

injuries are the thing.. do people back track on being in these situations because they don't want a hand broken?
I can understand it and yet sport is the simple method of being involved as much as possible, doing what they love and
creating a means to an end. Sports people are always gathering hurt from all kinds of areas. Sad Warnie wasn't there. but it was epic still..
