Not everyone in franchise cricket is desperate to be at his best — that is a mentality I eradicate as coach: Shane Watson

The Hindu  

IPL titles with multiple teams. How different would Shane Watson’s career have been if you had been made aware of these aspects earlier? I get asked that question quite a lot, and it’s interesting because from a results perspective, I had a lot of very good results throughout my career. Knowing that he is not playing — he is obviously training a lot, but he’s not playing any games up until the IPL — and for him just to have that world-class skill available to him with the gloves, and you see his role has changed, but to be able to come in 10 balls to go and hit sixes… that is not easy to do in any stage of your career. To make sure that mentality is not around in a team environment because that’s where mediocrity does start to come in and if I am going to be involved in a franchise, I want to help create a high-performance environment where players are pushing the limits.
