Former Australian captain Ricky Ponting has backed Shane Watson as a team player and said the Cricket Australia official who suggested he was not would live to regret his comments. Watson returned to Sydney late Tuesday from the tour of India after he was dropped for failing to prepare feedback on how the team could improve and deliver it to management. Three other players received the same punishment.
It prompted Cricket Australia general manager Pat Howard to say Watson needed to start toeing the team line, implying he was only "sometimes" a team player. "Shane worked as hard as anybody around his cricket, there's no doubt about that," he said Thursday after making another century against Victoria.
