Watson’s current form has given the selection committee a major headache, after he scored a century and a fifty while opening the batting upon his return to the national team following injury during the ongoing home series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760.
With him deciding to give up bowling for the time being, it is still undecided whether he will be considered as an opener or will occupy the middle-order position. Also with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andrew-Graham-Downton-c44379 Cowan doing well as the opening pairing in the longer version,
