That's brilliant. There needs to be an updated version with "There Will Be Blood."

Signs that Watson will open in the Ashes.

Australia to start with Watson, Cowan and Hughes against Somerset.

No Rogers.

What does he mean by that - Aus win in England and retain them in Aus?

Hopefully it means he won't rest Phil Hughes.

Cook, Root, Trott.....

Is this some sequel to Eat, Pray, Love?

Nope - it's a new No1 bestseller about how to get the runs - by Andy Flower

I'll give you that, Kipper.

New coach Darren Lehmann has stated that the resident P76, Twatto, will be the opener in the tests. Just hope Jimmy can't get movement early on, especially if Hughes is first drop.

My main source of hope for the Ashes lies in the Aussie top three. I'd be far more worried about Watson if he was at six or seven.

best thing about Watson opening is it suggests there will be no room for rogers who I was quite worried about

Watson has done ok opening, better than at five or six, I would guess.

did he do well because he was opening or did he just happen to be opening when he was in a purple patch of form however ?

for me you want an opener to be capable of scoring big hundreds and Watson hasn't shown himself to be capable of doing that at any time
