Why does everyone hate Shane Watson?

[sledger]

Obviously nobody is going to love him as much as he loves himself, but why all the ill-feeling?

Request for mods to change title to "Official Shane Watson Pile On thread".

I thought Warner was part of Team Watto?

I thought Warner was part of Team Watto?

Not since Watto had a whinge at Uncle Arthur for Warner not being sent home after the Walkabout Affair. Claimed inconsistency of justice.

i'm sure if i can track down that north-clarke captain thread I'll see speculation watson was in clarke's crew...

talk that was warner was in team watson is fan speculation (by a minority of fans at that) that only just started. i think the theory behind warner being in team watson was 'cause watson got punished for doing something wrong? and therefore must hate clarke?

I hate Shane Watson because he is given leverage over other players for no good reason, I also hate the way he is clearly enormously talented but has failed to fix some technical flaws that have been limiting him for years now.

i think davey warner's bro's tweets would suggest he is not part of the watson faction.

an escape goat? I can't take this guy seriously

The most famous escape goat since Roberto Luongo

Has Team Watto even been named?

Besides, I reckon the Watson faction are the Homeworkgate boys (though it wouldn't surprise me if there is more). Warner did do his homework IIRC.

Best Australian batsman, should be captain. Drop Clarke.
#shanewatsonthoughts.

Seriously tho the reason he doesn't have support for this is he just hasn't been putting up the numbers. Clarke has/d been.

Edit2: I think one of them has to go and have a clean out and as much I'm possibly the biggest watto fan on this forum I don't think you can justify keeping team watto.

Definitely further proof sledger doesn't watch cricket.

Should listen to this guy, only one who knows what its like for everyone to hate you

well fmd.

 

[BoyBrumby]

I can see the attraction as a cricket player, but he really doesn't have too many redeeming features as a human being, does he?

He's selfish, he's a sook, he's patently not the deepest thinker, he's a tattle tale and he's afraid of the boogie man.

Oh Watto

I reckon Watto should retire from tests and just play ODI and T20. I love watching him in those but I can take or leave the test matches.

 

[luckyeddie]

I can't hate him - he's the Australian equivalent of Rampers.

3 reasons I hate him

- He is a massive ****.

- He is selected to bat in the top 6 (usually opener) for Australia. But his batting average is worse than Scott Styris and Ravi Shastri. He is a crap batsman.

- He is a massive ****.
