Watson finally runs with the Bulls

Shane Watson, the Australia allrounder, will finally make his debut for Queensland in the ING Cup match against South Australia at Adelaide on Sunday. Returning from the India tour last week after playing in the one lead-up game, Watson will represent his home state after spending three seasons in Tasmania boosting his international prospects.

Watson, 23, is the only change to the Bulls team that defeated the Redbacks two weeks ago and he will replace the fast bowler Shane Jurgensen. The left-handed batsman Brendan Nash, a replacement for the injured Martin Love against South Australia, has retained his spot.

A Greg Blewett back problem has forced South Australia to name a 13-man squad and he faces a fitness test later this week. Following the retirement of Mick Miller and the omission of Mark Higgs, the Redbacks have named two uncapped players in Chris Duval, the 21-year-old Northern Districts fast bowler, and the batsman Jack Smith.
