Sydney Sixers wrap up Shane http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Watson-c96326 for Big Bash – Cricket News Update
Australian all-rounder, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746, commencing later this year.
The right-hander, who is also the vice-captain of the national team, will represent the T20 outfit; however, International commitments may come into conflict with his involvement in the tournament.
Sixers is one of the two Sydney based teams and will play their home matches at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG).
The news comes as a great bolster to the tournament organizers, who see Watson’s involvement as a huge positive, due to the fan following of the 30-year-old.
Sydney’s General Manager, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Stuart-Clark-c2591, was thrilled to have captured the all-rounder, who he believes will add quality to his side.
He said, “Shane is a quality cricketer and we are delighted that he has chosen to join the Sixers,.”
Moreover, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Clark-c51118 also spoke about the experience and class possessed by one of Australia’s top performers; and with him being appointed as the vice-captain of the national team, Watson is sure to add leadership qualities to a young side.
“He is a match-winner with both bat and ball, and a quality human being,” shared Clark.
Watson lit up the first edition of the Indian Premier league, playing for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shane-Keith-Warne-c89672.
He won four Man of the Match awards and took 17 wickets in the tournament, consequently being awarded the Man of the Series title as well.
After impressing one and all in his early years, Watson’s career took a nosedive as he could not carry the momentum forward due to injuries and poor form, which hampered the all-rounder’s growth.
However, after being shifted to the opening spot, he has since fulfilled his true potential and has evolved in the mould of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andrew-Flintoff-c44360, as one of the most lethal all-rounders in World Cricket.
Regarding his involvement with the Sydney franchise Watson said, “"It's great to be based at my favourite place in the world to play cricket, the SCG, and I hope that I can add something to the squad and be part of a winning culture."
