Injury scare for Shane Watson

BANGALORE: Shane Watson has sent a major scare through Australia’s Ashes planners only 19 days away from the first Test in Brisbane by pulling up with a hamstring injury during the final ODI against India in Bangalore. Running in to deliver the first ball of his sixth over at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, Watson stopped sharply before completing his delivery stride and immediately left the field. While the seriousness of the problem is still to be assessed, hamstring problems have dogged Watson on numerous occasions throughout his career.–Agencies
