Imagine if this had happened to an Indian player. Media would have played it up irresponsibly. As The player concerned would have taken a hit on wallet, he would have planted more stories in the media as to how extending his tenure in CLT20 would have helped him continue the form, or IMF he was not in form, regain one for future test series. On the contrary Watto reacts maturely and clearly shows the pride for playing for the country. Money comes next. Are our Gautis,Zaheers, Sewahga and Sachins hearing? Incidentally when are these guys going to hang up? Even Unmukt and Rahane may retire sometime in the future but not these four? Remember Badrinath and Amol Majumdar anyone?
Speaks volumes about the maturity of the player and the pride they take to represent the country. All players will do a great job if they follow such players who have head in the right place.
should seriously consider appointing Watson as the captain of Australian Team in all three formats - tests, ODIs and T20. He seems to represent the quintessence of Australian cricket - playing the game hard and with fierce determination and commitment.
Also, Clarke may do well as a batsman in tests only, if rid of captaincy. I am aware for sure of a triple hundred made by Clarke recently but that is not reason enough for him to be captain of the side.
beat England even at home.All their kep players are completly out of form and still wasting time in South Africa. BCCI should think of some new players seriously.
