Watson tormented himself over what he sensed was a game-changing time "for about the next 16 overs", even though he increased returning into the experience to understand Gayle's wicket.
"I know how much of a distinction it creates to our group, to everyone, if we're able to get Chelsea Gayle out," Watson said after including a second man of the go with performance to his major show against Eire.

"No question I was certainly sensation that discomfort until I was able to get him out but on the other hand he had done a reasonable bit of harm and provided a lot of strength to the Western Native indian part.
"That was very frustrating but in the end, to be able to create up for it in some way, with the bat especially. It never creates it experience any better but at least we were more possibility of successful the experience anyway.

Watson took 2-29 and led the run pursuit with 41 not out from 24 paintballs. He had Scott Hussey (28 not out from 19) with him when rainfall ceased perform in the Tenth over, with Sydney 1-100.
He was reprieved on 28 on the rectangle leg edge by Dwayne Cruz, who dedicated an even more intense problem than Watson's fall when he dropped a easy capture and likely the basketball over the edge for six.
"I was very satisfied, especially that he likely it over for six as well. That certainly assisted," Watson said.
"Dwayne Smith's a very excellent fielder. I was just about 100 % assured he was going to capture it, but I did know I hit the basketball right out of the center so it was going to take a bit of capturing."

"There are switching minutes in a activity title. My decreased capture of Chelsea Gayle certainly converted it towards the Western Indies' prefer. Unfortunately decreased grabs can convert activities. I was fortunate it was my convert when I was hitting."

Watson said he was uninformed that the rainfall was arriving until the protects showed up, so the elements did not impact the bold strategy the Aussies took to their hitting.
David Warner clobbered 28 from 14 paintballs before he obtained a controversial captured behind choice.
"I actually had no concept that there was rainfall around until it began watering down," Watson said. "You know when you're pursuing over 190 that you're always going to have to have a few really big overs in there."
