<p>Captain Michael Clarke has indicated that Shane Watson will not return to the Australia side as a specialist batsman for the second Test against South Africa at St George's Park on Thursday.<br /><br /></p>.<p>All-rounder Watson missed Australia's 281-run victory in the first Test with a calf problem, and the tourists want him to be fit enough to bowl in Port Elizabeth. "The information I have from the selectors is that if (Watson's) not bowling, he'll be unavailable for selection," Clarke told reporters on Wednesday.<br /><br />"You'll probably have to ask (coach) Darren Lehmann and the other selectors, (but) from the information I have they'll only re-select him if he's available to bowl. As soon as Watto is fit and available I know he'll want to be back out on the park. I don't know if you guys watched him in the nets but he's creaming them at the moment." <br /><br />Watson's replacement at number three in the first Test, Alex Doolan, fell 11 runs short of a century on debut in the second innings.</p>
