Shane Watson announced his retirement from all forms of cricket Wishing you a very Happy Retirement Shane Watson. Thanks for all the entertainment
Undoubtedly the best limited player of the moment, Shane Watson was the perfect white cricket package. He had a power game, he was able to control the speed and move around equally easily without being a smart medium pacer. Like many traveling players, he began his international career in the middle of the field before being promoted as an opening player. It was at the top of the innings that Watson hit his destructive antics - especially the semi-finals and finals of the 2009 Champions Trophy when he almost took Australia alone to the title.
Watson first appeared on the scene in 2002 during a visit to South Africa in the ODI series. Australia recently appointed Ricky Ponting as captain and decided to make changes to the squad. With their fascination with bits and pieces, Watson was an obvious choice considering he was more than just a performance around everything. However, qualifying was a major challenge for him, as it would for all of his career. He had to fight his body many times rather than face a bad situation and that means a lot. Despite all that, Watson had a good international career, especially in limited overs cricket where he really excelled.
The success of the white cricket field gave Watson a chance in the Tests in 2005 but the injury sidelined him which meant he had to wait until the 2008-09 season to play well. As in the ODIs, here too Watson started as a midfielder before being pushed to the opening spot in the middle of the tough Ashes series. He did not carry on as much as many expected, instead he began his new role with greatness but that move to put him at the top of the Test may have been a step back in his career. Although he was successful in the first round as an opening player, the parishioners began to organize him well, especially with the LBW trap due to his love of playing around the pad.
The final stages of Watson's Test were building as he chewed and puffed up his way. However, he also played a few good goals although most of them were interrupted by the end of his bad game. However, he was always able to look at short formats. The T20 format has also been his pet - he has been incredibly successful not only in Australia but also in the IPL where he is famous for his existing skills. After the Ashes defeat in England in 2015, Watson decided to quit the Tests. He played the following ODIs but was sacked after that and in 2016, he decided to give up all forms of cricket.
It would not be wrong to say that Watson could not have been talked about as much as he should have. He didn’t have a lovely personality in that maybe and his humorous attempts with DRS made him unpopular as he often made strange updates against LBW phones that seemed full. But all the jokes separately, the fact is that he was an Australian player who fired a shot at white cricket, a real giant who could have done better had he had better health. After retiring, Watson had a wonderful time in the T20 leagues around the world.
