5 cricketers who are always made scapegoats when the team loses

#2 Shane Watson

The injury-prone Watson is always at the receiving end of criticism

Shane Watson’s injury-ridden career has forced him to be sidelined in games one too many. Hence, his performances in the matches that he did play were closely observed by fans and media, who expected him to give dazzling performances. Failing to do so, tempted everyone to condemn him for his abysmal performance.

Though he may have only been one of the reasons for the team’s loss, his performance was more often than not highlighted and shown to be almost the only single cause for the loss. Over the years, he has received a lot of flak from the Australian public.

But when he did display his mettle and gave match-winning performances, he wasn’t really appreciated enough. All his good performances are forgotten when a single bad day comes his way.
