What sort of man is Shane Watson?
Don’t answer.
Not content with turning the Pakistani batting line up into his bitches, he also completely embarrassed his own bowlers with a display of bowling competency.
But to do it on the day the world should be bowing down for Murali, that is just unfair.
Murali had done what he needed to do, took the last wicket in a dramatic way.
He knows how to work a crowd.
Keep them interested thinking that it might just all go wrong, then after a protracted last wicket partnership take the wicket and let the crowd and team mates take over from there.
It was perfect.
The lighting was right, his family were crying, the crowd was roaring, his teammates carrying him and a seemingly slow motion celebration happening around him. All he needed was some music composed by James Newton Howard and a crane shot starting on a close up of his face before moving back to show the whole scene.
But Shane Watson is not a fan of bowlers who deliver the doosra, ask Saeed Ajmal.
And he knew that there was one thing he could do that would dirty Murali’s magic day, and that was him taking wickets.
Nothing ruins a magical day like Shane Watson’s bowling.
He is like rain on your wedding day, he makes everything wet and women cry because of him.
And he knows it.
Six wickets, talk about taking the piss.
Five at Lord’s was bad, but this was one more, scary.
Cricket just feels wrong when Shane Watson is taking wickets.
Before he went out to bowl he knew this was Murali’s day, and look what he did.
Disgusting behaviour.
Murali deserved better than that, Shane.
You pig.
