Watson should have been MOTS.

Agree, thought so also. He was MOM in 2 of the 3 games.

Fairly handy 8/30 wickets. Even Gilly was surprised to get MOTS and said He thought Watto would have been a shoe in.
I suppose the Judges didn't want to embarrass Eddiesmoth too much.
What did Gilly get, 180+ runs at 60 compared to Watsons 8 wickets @ 17, 1 innings with the bat
Gilly easily
Gilly easily

1 - Its easy to get wickets when a teams batting second chasing 4000 trying to hit every ball out of the park.
Can you explain his career ODI average of 42 to me?
2 - Whether its this time or next you always try.
But sadly always fail.
Seacrest out.

My thoughts exactly. If he wasn't man of the series, he shouldn't have won 2/3 man of the match awards.
eddiesmith said:
you forgot to mention watson's great run out of pollock in game 2 ad sehwag in game 3, and his 2 BOG's. surely watto deserved it. gilly has received it o the back of his lightning ton in game 2 but well done gilly.

No standout performances in any of the 2 matches, his first match wasnt superstar material, but he got it as it was a poor overall match
Gilly was far more consistent, and his MOM was a real standout and was still a solid contributor in the other 2

Gilly received on the back of the fact if it wasnt for Gilly, Australia may not have won the series

Watson deserved it for an all round performance- good with the bat, did well with the ball, effected a couple of runouts and was good in the field generally.

I think both players deserved it... or maybe it could have been shared.
Gilly's runs and SR = Watson's runs (from limited chances), 8 wickets, and 2 super run outs.
As for Watson's wickets being so called cheap wickets because the batsman where throwing the bat... bowler's still have to take the wickets, and you can't blame the bowler for batsmen throwing their wicket away going for the bash with 50% of their overs remaining.
