Shane Watson, Australia versatile, asked if his body will be able to withstand the rigors of regular bowling and open the club and suggested he may have to move down to compensate. Watson has been surprisingly successful at the top of the order for Australia in recent years and had previously rejected the possibility of a return to order in the middle, but to rethink its options after the recent tour to Sri Lanka.
"My role on the team has changed," Watson told the Daily Telegraph. "I have more demands of bowling and I have to consider whether my body will be able to handle it. I need to think about what is best for the team and how to get the best of myself to move forward.
"I will continue to talk to [captain] Michael Clarke on the subject, but simply through the Sri Lanka series with the extra workload, it's time I think about it more."
Watson, newly promoted to vice-captain upset 75 overs in three Tests in Sri Lanka, a significant increase per game from 76 overs, he was thrown through the five Ashes Tests last summer. His staff also seemed to suffer. He made only 85 runs against Sri Lanka at an average of 17.40. In the Ashes series, he became Australia's second highest scorer in the execution of 435 to 48.33.
In order to protect its International Cricket - Australia plays South Africa and India later this year - Cricket Australia, is located in the bowling alley to ban him for the Champions League Twenty20, that Watson has played in New South Wales.
Watson is also set to release his autobiography, Watto, in two days when he reveals that the Board told him to give up bowling in 2007 due to his injuries consistent. His subsequent decision to seek an outside opinion was the reason he was able to return to his best and keep the bowling, and "it's the only reason I wrote this book," said M . Watson.
"I know that talking to a number of athletes the information they receive is often not the best we can agree on an ongoing basis. Sometimes you have to look out to find it. We would have been a number of people who were in my situation and moved to something else, but not always a dead end. "
It was former Australian Football League physiotherapist Victor Popov, Watson turned to for help, a move that ultimately paid to Watson and Australia: "These guys [the Board] did their best to help me, but when it came to the crisis, they had to give up on me ... It does not get much worse than being told by medical experts on your team that perhaps you might never Bowl again.
"Ultimately, I could not handle it, and I do not go out of my apartment for about three weeks, but the sight of Victor ... I cried a lot '. I felt like I was only at the end of it, especially when all-rounder.
"I was 26 and it was like I was never going to achieve my dreams ... I knew so many people around the world has a life that is 50,000 times harder than I ever had. But I was in a downward spiral and when you like that, all that matters is what happens in their lives. "
