The 33-year-old cricketer rose to the occasion and consolidated the Aussie innings, scoring an unbeaten 112 off just 106 balls in which he struck 10 boundaries and a couple of massive hits out of the park. He helped the Kangaroos post a competitive total
of 274 runs on the board, which proved to be enough at the end of the day. The home team completed a whitewash by winning the last ODI by 17 runs.
While speaking to the post-match presentation ceremony, Watson, who was leading the side in Michael Clarke’s absence, expressed his delight upon winning the encounter. The Aussie vice-captain is keen to play a huge role in the upcoming Test series against

Voges, the cricketer from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/BJ-Haddin-c1170, who were making a return to international
cricket.
"I think new players bring fresh energy. It was also great for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Simon-James-Marshall-c90362 and Haddin (he's not new) to get an opportunity," said the talented cricketer.
Voges made his international debut in 2007 but failed to cement his place in the national team for a number of years. His impressive hundred against West Indies however, is surely going to urge the selectors to give him more opportunities.
