Shane Watson flourishes as opener for Australia, 3rd Ashes Test Day 1 Highlights



Shane Watson scored a brilliant 62 not out, and proved the Australian team management correct in the gamble of opening the 3rd Test match replacing the out of form Philip Hughes. Shane Watson dealt the Swing and Seam of the English bowling attack with patience and some awesome strokeplay, he actually happened to save the day for Captain Ricky Ponting who chose to bat first on a swing friendly and soggy pitch.

Shane Watson who was out of the game due to a bout of injuries since the IPL 2009 was declared fit and included in the Ashes campaign.

Simon Katich was the only one to get out on a rain affected match with just 30 over happening in the 1st day.
