Summary We can only pray Shane Watson has a bad day in office on Tuesday: Whatmore
Intimidated by the raiding Shane Watson, Pakistan coach Dav Whatmore joked that his team will either have to poison the Australian all-rounders food or hope that he has a bad day in office in their crucial World Twenty20 Super Eight clash in Colombo on Tuesday.Pakistan will take on Australia tomorrow and the prolific Watson is the teams biggest headache going into the must-win game as the all-rounder has been plain destructive with both bat and ball.In fact, Watson has so far collected four man of the match trophies and is single-handedly steering Australias campaign in the event.May be we need to poison his food. Jokes apart, he is a human being and we hope he would make mistakes, said Whatmore after Pakistans campaign went haywire following a crushing loss to India on Sunday night.But Watson himself is pretty modest about his form.Nice to be able to continue to play well. I know how important my role is. Its still a hell of a long way to go and I want to continue, Watson said.Meanwhile, Pakistan captain Mohammed Hafeez blamed losing wickets at regular intervals as the primary reason for the defeat against India but also praised Virat Kohli for his brilliant innings.
