If you drop Watson when Clarke comes in, both Maxwell and Marsh need to bowl 10 overs each, or Finch, Clarke, or Smith will need to get some overs.

It's the same old story with Watson, if he couldn't bowl, he'd have been f***ed off out of all formats a long time ago.
If we can't get 10 overs each out of Marsh and Maxy against Bangladesh then we have issues.

**** Watson off once and for all.

Faulkner isn't due back until the end of the group stage though, is he?
You're going to see a guy who's just starting to show signs of regaining form being axed for the captain but Watson's golden ticket will continue despite failing again.

Nah **** him off for good. Marsh seems to be doing well enough to bowl ten and I would rather pick a batsmen who can score.

Couldn't be a cricket WC without a farcical event. How is that not a dead ball?
http://www.lords.org/mcc/laws-of-cricket/laws/law-23-dead-ball/

Law 23 (Dead ball)
1. Ball is dead
(a) The ball becomes dead when
(i) it is finally settled in the hands of the wicket-keeper or the bowler.
(ii) a boundary is scored. See Law 19.3 (Scoring a boundary).
(iii) a batsman is dismissed

Would have thought that the dead ball law settles this but somehow they still ****** it up.

Law was written before reviews, out used to be out. You could technically argue that by being overturned it was no longer out, therefore that ruling was no longer valid (I would not be surprised to see the ICC Gieschen that call in such a way), but it'd be stupid to do so.

It just seems to defy logic. Can you imagine the outrage if Anderson had upon seeing the out decision stopped running.

He'd have been arguing until he was blue in the face.

You can give up on the roar of the crowd and player reactions too though.
