Colombo: Oct 1, 2012

 

Intimidated by the marauding Shane Watson, Pakistan coach Dav Whatmore joked that his team will either have to poison the Australian all-rounder's food or hope that he has a bad day in office in their crucial World Twenty20 Super Eight clash on Tuesday.

 

Pakistan will take on Australia and the prolific Watson is the team's biggest headache going into the must-win game as the all-rounder has been plain destructive with both bat and ball.

 

In fact, Watson has so far collected four man of the match trophies and is single-handedly steering Australia's campaign in the event.

 

"May be we need to poison his food. Jokes apart, he is a human being and we hope he would make mistakes," said Whatmore after Pakistan's campaign went haywire following a crushing loss to India last night.(PTI)
