Care of Ceci at swanningabout
Some people can’t help but give.
Shane Watson is one of those people; he is forever giving us little gifts.
But this one was too much.
We have nothing to give him, and giving us the present of a comedy run out in the 90s is just about the best present any cricket fan could ever receive from a cricketer they don’t like.
Thanks to his cartoonish shriek at Gayle the rest of the world now hates him in as much as Australians have since not long after Shane Lee was last picked.
So this runout present isn’t just a gift for Australians, he is giving it to the world.
The run out itself was his merry Christmas, but putting his foot down a millisecond after the Krab, that was a happy new year.
How can you not like Shane after giving us so much?
No one gives better face when going out in the 90s.
And my personal favourite moment was when he was waiting for the decision. He was looking at the ground, ignoring the krab’s hopes of discussions, and he was resting his bat upside down on his leg. Then he was told, and that face, oh that little face, just for a moment I almost felt sorry for him.
It was a short moment, but it was real.
I wuv Kat. I hope he manages to run Twatto out again soon and deprive him of another ton.

hey guys, this is off topic, but I think all you Sehawagologists would love this: Check out Gambhir’s response at 3:42 in this clip. Ignore the annoying interviewer :
Why do we all hate Shane Watson so much?
@gerontius – shane watson’s self love is immense. the universe counteracts this with our loathing for shane. and presto….natural balance restored.
sunny is correct. yin and yang…
Jamie….. it’s his whingy face.
Is he caged? You wouldn’t get Ian Bell doing this.

Is it too weird to actually hope the Aussies keep getting out in the 90′s? It’s so funny.
I don’t hate Watto, but he was not watching the game at all and that was how it happened. Captain Kat was keeping his eye on the ball, Watto just ran for no reason.
My favourite moment was when Kat turned around to look at Watto at the other end and realised he wasn’t there … it was a gem.

@vim – one could even start a drinking game but it takes too long to get to the 90s.
I was there! I told my cricket club mates sitting next to me that he was cursed never to make a Test hundred…and then it happened…I leapt for joy at the G! Up there with Lillie bowling Viv last ball of the day! The standoff was stunning! I thought Katto was going to grab him by the throat like he did Goldenballs that time… They should open together forever more as punishment… Can’t wait for the second innings!
