Shane Watson was the casualty of an unfortunate release in Cardiff
Unwell and in a tough situation, Shane Watson has endured an unusual rejection in Australia's Twenty20 global misfortune to England on Monday. The friendly 34-year-old has persevered through a troublesome voyage through the UK and has said it has been hard to play a such a minor part. Watson was dropped after Australia's first Test annihilation in Cardiff in mid-July and viewed on as the guests gave back the Ashes. Snappy single: England win in Twenty20 nailbiter Looking for a change of fortune in the constrained overs part of the Qantas Tour of the British Isles, Watson was rather the casualty of an unfortunate wicket in the standalone T20. The allrounder played on to his stumps to be out for eight, minutes after a brilliant spread commute had indicated at a change of fortune. Watson hoped to have executed a strong cautious stroke straight into the pitch, yet looked on with sickening dread as it spun back towards the stumps. He haplessly swung a leg out to occupy it from its way to the stumps - yet the air swing was just ready to bring about chuckling from the England group overhang as they viewed replays on the extra large screen.
Captain Steve Smith sympathised with the two-time Allan Border medal winner.
"It was a little bit unlucky, wasn't it?" he said.
"I guess that's just the game of cricket though.
"It was a tough one for him and we had to rebuild after that."
