Chris Gayle is incomparable, says Shane Watson – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Watson-c2558, believes that he plays an important role for the sides he represents in the T20 format but admitted that Chris Gayle is far superior when it comes to power-hitting.
The cricketer from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Watson-c96326 has established himself as one of the world’s leading all-rounders.
Apart from his ability to take the game away from the opposition within a short span of time with the bat, the all-rounder is extremely effective with the ball as well.
In the just-finished http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 World T20 2012, Watson was named as the Player of the Tournament for his astonishing performances, becoming the leading run-scorer with 249 and taking 11 wickets to put the icing on the cake. Watson received four consecutive Man of the Match awards in the mega event, which in itself is a world-record.
There are some cricketing analysts who feel that Watson is the most threatening player in world cricket at the present moment, rating him higher than the West Indies opener, Chris Gayle, who is an extremely dangerous batsman.
However, the all-rounder is being very humble and feels that Gayle is a standout player in the modern-day sport, although he is happy with his recent performances.
"I know playing where I do as an opening batsman and bowling the overs that I do that I'm going to have some impact on the game good or bad," Watson said. "In the end it's nice if people do say that but there's no doubt that for me http://www.senore.com/Cricket/CH-Gayle-c1221 is one of the most amazing players you'll ever see.”
The hard-hitting batsman has so far represented Australia in 35 Tests, 154 One Day Internationals (ODIs) and 36 T20s, having scored almost eight thousand runs at the highest stage of the game, to go with his 249 international victims.
"To see the things that he's done consistently in Twenty20 cricket in all competitions is pretty amazing. I think you really can't go past Chris," Watson continued while praising the former http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 captain.
