IPL 2017: 5 reasons why Shane Watson should be dropped

#3 A slow fielder

Watson deserves to be dropped from the fielding perspective as well

The result of RCB’s opening encounter against SRH could have been different if Watson had caught Yuvraj’s catch when he was on a score of 30 odd runs. The ball was in the air for a long time as Yuvraj skied it off Chahal’s bowling.

It only needed a swift fielder to move in quickly underneath the ball from the edge of the 30-yard circle. However, it took Watson an eternity to cover that small distance and the ball landed safely inside the ring.

Moreover, his physical condition also doesn’t make him a safe boundary fielder either. Hence, Watson deserves to be dropped from the fielding perspective as well.
