<p>That being said, how much better can this team be if Haddin is replaced, and perhaps, Punter retire. We still have big middle order problems though the return of Watson should bolster it. But, who goes for Watson?</p>
<p>Re Marsh, I think the problem is that he has had no games since returning from injury. He should have had a chance to get back to form in Shield but the Shield's been postponed for the Big Bash.
