News reports are suggesting Watson will come in for Hughes. I'd find it weird if they do it - having an allrounder open in internationals is not that common. I wonder if his technique is good enough for the rigours of opening the batting.
I suspect Clark will come in for Siddle and Johnson will bowl first change rather than with the new ball. I see Watson as a way to strengthen the bowling as well. Only 7 or so hours until the line ups are officially announced.
