the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 coach had introduced the safety measures to prevent his team suffering from exhaustion.
The Australian all-rounder has praised his opponent’s decision by resting its three premier bowlers in the ongoing One Day International (ODI) series against the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/GP-Swann-c1501 for the final ODI on
Friday, after a series clinching victory at The Oval, which helped the home-side to take a 2-0 lead.
The Australian Vice-captain thinks, in today’s modern cricket where players have to undergo a great deal of mental and physical stress, they need breaks to handle the workload of international cricket. "That's the only way to try and preserve your best bowlers,"
Watson said.
"To balance the workload by actually bringing through some younger guys and freshening up the more experienced players," the Vice-Captain said.
The Aussie is part of the Australian team on tour of England which recently arrived to play a five-match ODI series against the hosts. The series will kick-start with a warm-up match against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Leicestershire-c807 starting today; the next will be a One-Off ODI against
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ireland-c751 on Jun 23 before the first match with the Englishmen on Jun 29 at Lord’s. The right-handed batsman has played 35 Tests and 150 ODIs for his country.
Watson added that it will allow the youngster to get a taste of international cricket and the exposure that comes with it. "It also gives younger and less experienced guys an opportunity to play international cricket so if something does happen they are
ready to step up and understand the pressures of an international match,” the Queenslander added.
His views were a perfect match with English opener Ian Bell’s recent statement, who also appreciated the move of rotating their bowlers in order to manage a tough international calendar. "It's a good option to let them have a bit of a breather,” Bell was
quoted.
"The key to our success in one-day cricket is having five out-and-out world-class bowlers. So if we want to beat the Australians, we want these guys fit and fresh and ready to go," added the right-hander.
