Surely Shane Watson was an unbackable favourite for last nights AB medal.
The Glams, glitterati and paparazzi were in effect turning up only to honour his terrific consistency, and to see who came 2nd.
Taking top votes in Test and ODI and runner up to D.Hussey in T20 it was too easy for Watto to back up last years win.
I suppose an advantage of being so favored is being able to prepare your acceptance speech. Watson certainly showed he had his achievements in perspective with his acknowledgment that, "...being able to stay on the field was its own reward."
Well done Watto, you were a light in the dark days of the Test summer, and fully deserve this accolade.
