Many fans responded positively and wished the Australian all the best for the new project. However, there was one who went on to take a sly dig at Watson’s batting technique. The Ipswich-born, during his playing days, got out lbw way too often. The bowlers always used to target the stumps whenever Watson was on strike.
“And he’s out. LBW,” the fan replied.

Watson, instead of lashing out at the fan, responded with a polite gesture and h🌊oped for the safety and well being of the fan amid the coronavirus outbreak.
“Hey, Tom. Thanks so much for your great feedback mate. I hope you are staying safe,” tweeted Watson.
