He sent me three choices - in order - in a PM, and Sharma was his third choice, so if he didn't get him he'd have really raged.
Good to welcome Watto to the Lighthouses. Will add tremendous balance to the team. With Prince and him, we actually have two blokes who have opened in tests in the last 6 months. I'll most likely look to play them at 4 and 5 though unless something occurs.
Two solid picks IMO, Prince especially. He's got good averages at First Class and Test level, and Watson gives you, albeit it hit and miss, another bowling choice, and he's a very capable batsman.
