Body blow raises elementary concerns for Watson
Shane Watson is injured again and Robert Craddock, writing in The Australian , says it is dawning on Australia he might be unable to combine the roles of fast bowling and top-order batting.
The physical toll on fast bowlers is enormous. There are freaks of nature like Glenn McGrath and Courtney Walsh who, team-mates joke, could bowl in gum boots on snow and not leave footprints, so light is their tread. But Watson is not one of these.
