He still managed to sent down his medium pacers cleverly.He had his successes in Tests with 3731 runs at 35.19 and 75 wickets at 33.68 in 59 matches.Also read: Dhoni 'definitely not' done with CSK, will play beyond IPL 2020 But the handsome cricketer’s biggest moments arrived in the shorter formats, as he went on to become a World Cup and Champions Trophy winner.In the second half of his career, Watson would open the batting and also bowl medium pace. And he was one of the most brutal pullers of the ball. Memories will remain. Watson was a true blue Aussie.
