The NSW all-rounder attempted to prove his fitness at training in Adelaide this week, but skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Clarke-c51120 said that, "[Watson] improved a lot over the last few days ... but is probably a few days short of being 100 per cent."

Raja, however, said that the rookie No. 3 batsman should not be compared to “The Wall” just yet.
