Dustbin Cricket Quickies: 5 things about ... Shane Watson

The new spot to celebrate the new blog – 5 things you didn’t know (and probably never wanted to) about a particular cricketer. I put five questions to a cricketer each week and this is what they tell me.*

To set things going, who else but Shane Watson?


1. What exactly does he do? He shows up, he gets paid. Sometimes he bats and very occasionally he bowls. His job description definitely involves really pissing me off (it’s actually in his contract).

2. What is his favourite song? Shame and Fortune by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs (but only because he thinks it’s called “Shane” and fortune) (I couldn’t bring myself to correct him). 

3. If he were a food, what would he be? A McDonald’s burger – on occasion it tastes good, but then you eat it too often and it begins to make you sick.

4. Who is his favourite opponent? Common sense and a guy named Katich.

5. If he wasn’t a cricketer, what would he be? That big dumb blonde guy from Wherethefuck, Queensland who puts salt and vinegar on your chips and can’t pull a pint for shit.
*this is a lie. I make it all up (just in case you were wondering).
Next week … Lord Nathan
