Why does everyone hate Shane Watson?

[andruid]

He doesn't finish his homework

 

[burr]

Everyone hates him now...I have proudly hated him on this forum since 2005. Other posts exist from that era trying to claim he was better than Clarke.

 

[Adders]

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

Gotta feel sorry for Ma and Pa Warner........fancy being saddled with 2 dumb ****s for sons.

 

[Burgey]

Those tweets from Warner's brother are comedy gold.

Mind you, I dunno if Dave has too many redeeming features as a bloke either.

 

[Burgey]

Also, Watto is mentored by Alan Jones. Another reason to hate.

Still chuckling about 'escape goat'. A hircine Houdini.

Shane Watson is so concerned at his inability to turn starts into major scores he recently phoned former Middlesex all-rounder turned media pundit Simon Hughes at 10pm to ask whether he had any thoughts on the issue.

I like Watson.

But I'm English.

He's doing great for us

 

[honestbharani]

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.

lol.. now there's a reason to hate him

 

[Tangles]

I hate him because he demands to open, or whatever he feels like and he gets it. A senior player who isn't scoring or taking wickets yet is making demands and ****ing with team unity.

 

[watson]

Just like to say at this point that the choice of 'watson' for my generic internet name pre-dates Shane Watson. It's more of a Dr Watson thing - as in Sherlock Holmes.

Have loved to hate him ever since this: Ridiculous celebration by Shane Watson vs Chris Gayle - YouTube

It was that moment that he crossed the line from every day sporting villainy into cartoonish super-villainy.

 

[Justo]

He ruined He-man as far I'm concerned.



Edit: on top of being a dick.

He's probably tensing up anticipating Gayle slogging Watson's head for 6.

 

[Howe_zat]

I never used to like Watson but over time I did. I guess he just grew on me

Par for the course with any cancer, tbh.

 

[Jono]

Yes!
