After enduring a frustrating period when he missed out on his century on more than one occasion, Watson finally got to the coveted score against Pakistan at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. This came not without any drama, he was dropped on 98.

He scored 120 in the second innings, after being dismissed on 93 in the first innings. Australia set Pakistan 422 to win the test and won the match by 170 runs.

This win made Ricky Ponting the player with most wins by any Test player and the most victories for any Test captain. Certainly a momentous occasion for Shane Watson as for his captain!
