Shane Watson to retire from all Internationals after the 2016 T20 World Cup

[JohnS]

For all of us diehard Cricket fans on FoH, who for years were perplexed at how Shane Watson reached 50 tests for Australia despite a test average below 35, finally news that he will retire from all internationals after the current T20 World Cup in India.

No word yet on whether he will continue to play first-class cricket in Australia, or indeed what state he will turn for if he decides to continue on next season.

I have a bad feeling he's going to pummel my team today. Oh well.

Maybe you shouldn't have said anything? (as he hit 44 not out off 21 balls at the end of the Australian innings)

Watson has a habit of surprising us at times!

Here's an interesting article by Daniel Brettig from Cricinfo entitled "When Watson was great".

And Pakistan has a habit of not surprising anyone. Am rooting for Australia to go through today though. Have a feeling India's pace attack would be cannon fodder for your opening 3 after seeing what they did to Paks attack. Unless Kohli has other ideas.

I should just quit my day job and start putting some money on the betting sites.
