Watson is not a number 3, never has and never will be. Your best batsman should be number 3 and, at the moment, that's Warner. However, he is doing such a great job as opener that you would be loath to move him.
I thought Watson's bowling wasn't too bad, particularly after Marsh did his fetlock. I'd prefer to see Watson played as an allrounder and coming in at 6 or 7. Of course, he was to stay fit.
Rogers is the perfect foil for Warner, but he can score quickly as he demonstrated yesterday. Cowan is in rare form but he is an incredibly slow scorer and that puts too much pressure on the other batters.
As for S Marsh, EB is spot on. He is a streaky batsman who can't throw and apparently can't catch either and shouldn't be in the team. Surely, there's another New South Welshman who can do better.
