    "editor1": "<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>London, July 17 -<\/strong> Australia coach Darren Lehmann has said dropped all-rounder Shane Watson can make a comeback to the team, insisting &quot;he&#39;s got plenty of cricket left in him&quot;.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Watson was dropped from the Australian team for the second Test against England, which began on Thursday here at the Lord&#39;s cricket ground, in the ongoing Ashes series. Promising all-rounder Mitchell Marsh was named as Watson&#39;s replacement in the team.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Watson was omitted from the team after scores of only 30 and 19 in the first Test at Cardiff last week, following a prolonged batting slump. Australia lost the first Test by 169 runs to trail the five-match Test series 0-1.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But Darren Lehmann had only words of hope for the senior player.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&quot;Shane has been a little bit disappointing with his runs and it&#39;s a tight call, he&#39;s been an experienced player for us. Mitch Marsh has done everything we could ask for behind scenes and first two tour games he&#39;s in good form,&quot; Lehmann was quoted as saying by espncricinfo.com on Thursday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&quot;We went with experience in the first Test, this Test we have gone with Mitch Marsh. Tough call on Shane but I&#39;m sure he&#39;s got plenty of cricket left in him. I think it&#39;s a case of him getting back and obviously got a county game next week he&#39;ll play in and try find some form back and keep putting his name in front of selectors.&quot;&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Lehmann said the 34-year-old all-rounder can stage a similar comeback to the team like he did when he was dropped during Australia&#39;s triumphant march at the World Cup.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&quot;A chance very much like the World Cup where he got dropped and came back into side, so really form will dictate what Shane does,&quot; Lehman added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"line-height: 23.1111106872559px; text-align: justify;\">(IANS)<\/span><\/p>\r\n",
