Great cartoon! :) The context (@Swaroop) here is that there was a lot of 'trash talk' between the 2 teams during the first test and honestly at times, it overtook the contest (especially in SA's second inning, when Aus thought they could rattle SA's nerves by attacking them verbally). And the point being made here is that, although Watson is not physically fit, he thinks that he is 'fit' for the match as he has worked on his vocabulary and is therefore a good candidate to verbally attack SA players :)

@SwaroopGururaj, there are some question marks over Watson's fitness; so he has been left out of playing 11 for the second Test. Meanwhile, there is a war of words going on between SA and Australia. In Satish's cartoon, Watson is arguing he should be playing despite being unfit since he has been working on his vocabulary and can contribute to the war of words!

'Shukriya Hyderabad for the support' Fan Following: The TV cameras focused on him a few times, his fan report made it to ESPNcricinfo, and his team won. Franklin Joseph is a lucky man
Rains, runs and an RCB revival Fan Following: You know it's been a special day if it ends with a victory lap where AB de Villiers is dancing
Watching a game v living it Fan Following: T20s are great, especially when your home team wins, but can it compare to the experience of watching an ODI or a Test?
'You can't taint the whole IPL' Bowl at Boycs: Geoff Boycott on spot-fixing, Adil Rashid's future, and yorkers in Test matches
A time for sadness and fear Harsha Bhogle: The spot-fixing controversy teaches us about the pitfalls of insecurity and of the desire to keep up with the Joneses
From nobody to IPL star Aakash Chopra: Apart from luck, you need to pick your team wisely, get to bat at the top, and have your captain's support
Fixing? It's people like us doing it Ed Hawkins: It's convenient to blame the underworld for every instance of fixing, but it's ordinary punters behind many of them
