Shane Watson vs Wahab Riaz – A riveting chapter among the many “Watson memories”
Shane Watson was very different from the usual Australian cricketers, yet had some facets in him that were quintessentially Aussie.

It was quite typical of Cheteshwar Pujara’s Test career that he walked in to bat in the WTC final when New Zealand had just started to get their radar right and bowl as they do at their best: with utmost discipline and consistency.
