#2 Shane Watson
Trending
Watson has suffered from rather indifferent form with both bat and ball for some time now. His exclusion from the side against Afghanistan in the World Cup led to much speculation that his ODI career was over. But he made a decent comeback against Sri Lanka and now hopes to be able to play for a few more years.
Though Watson called his knock of 64 against Pakistan in the quarter-finals the most important innings of his ODI career, his exclusion from the side earlier in the tournament against Afghanistan was not unjustifiable. He had scored just 220 runs in his last 10 ODI innings before that at a paltry average of 22.
His form slump has been quite prolonged for some time now and he does not by any stretch of imagination look the portent force with the bat or the ball as he once had been. At 34 having just won the World Cup, this may not be a bad time for Watson to quit ODIs and concentrate on test cricket.
