Shane Watson vows to hit big runs in the ongoing ODI series against Sri Lanka – Cricket New Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Watson-c2558, the Australian opener, is determined to post big scores in the ongoing five-match One-Day international series against Australia.
Watson was the top scorer for his side in the first One-Day International against Sri Lanka, where he hit 69 runs off 51 balls, including five fours and six sixes.
The batsman said that he was not satisfied with just hitting half centuries, rather he intends to go beyond this.
The Aussies, in the first ODI, enjoyed an easy victory over the hosts, where they handed them a seven-wicket defeat. The Tourists' strong bowling attack restricted http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 to a mere total of 191 runs, all out in 41.1 overs. Suraj Randiv was the top scorer
for his side as he scored 41 runs off 50 balls, including four fours and one six.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/RT-Ponting-c2377, scored 53 runs off 71 balls, including
five fours, before he was bowled by Randiv.
Watson’s performance was greatly praised by the skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Clarke-c51120, who earlier said that the in-form batsman is irreplaceable in Australia’s ODI squad.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Watson-c96326 revealed that Sri Lanka may try different things to dismiss him early on in the second ODI, to be played on August 14, 2011, at Hambantota. He also indicated the possibility that the Sri Lankan pacer Lasith Malinga might come back in action in the
upcoming game.
"I know that http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SL-Malinga-c2540 has a good chance of coming in this game or the next game,'' said Watson. "He's a big weapon for their team so I know how important it is to get through him because he's got quite a skill of taking wickets,'' said Watson.
The right-handed batsman has played in 134 ODIs, where he scored 4006 runs, at an average of 44.02, including six centuries and 24 fifties. He made his ODI debut against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757 at Centurion in March 2004.
