The Australian cricket team's star all rounder Shane Watson looks an unlikely starter for the second test against South Africa following the national selectors' decision not to consider him as a specialist batsman for the rest of the series.
Watson is battling to overcome a calf strain ahead of the Adelaide Oval Test starting in a week, and he'll be selected only as an all-rounder if he's fit enough to bowl his medium-pacers.
Meanwhile Cricket Australia has turned down a New South Wales request for Watson to play in a one day match against Victoria on Sunday.
