http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Watson-c2558 concerned over his place after Ed Cowan’s debut – Cricket News Update
Australia’s star all-rounder Shane http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750.
Wretched with hamstring and calf injuries, the impressive cricketer is out-of-action, and will probably be unavailable for the entire 4-Test home series. Without the maverick opener and composed pacer, the Aussies are struggling hard against the mighty Men
in Blue who possess immense force in both bowling and batting departments.
Before the series started on Boxing Day, the skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-Clarke-c1978 and the national selectors made every possible attempt to bring Watson back, but his physical condition impeded his comeback.
Watto’s absence is a setback for the already hapless home side that has been lagging behind due to injuries, retirements and inconsistent performances.
Watson’s feels dejected for not participating in the series, but is more concerned over his future with the team as he thinks Ed Cowan might replace him.
Talking to the media today, the dashing Kangaroo said, “I've played in Boxing Day Tests and it hurts not playing here today. It'll be interesting to see where I fit in. I couldn't see myself being anything other than an all-rounder.”
However, the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Edward-James-McKenzie-Cowan-c55398 is a calm and calculated figure both in cricket and off-field life.
Watto told, “Temperament is important. Ed was as in control of his temperament as he was in control of his game.”
The 30-year-old has played 32 Test, 140 ODI and 25 T20I matches so far since his international debut in 2002. His both batting averages and bowling economy rates have been excellent.
A few cricket analysts are of the view that Watson’s inclusion in the squad would have given the Aussies an edge over the Indians.
With Day 3 on its end, the Aussies are losing wickets fairly quick making it impossible for them to lead.
