Watson and Tiwary in war of words before Watson sends him off!
Shane Watson was at his taunting best when he got into a squabble with Saurabh Tiwary, in much like the same manner that he had taken on Chris Gayle in the Test match between Australia and West Indies.
The issue began when Tiwary came on to bat and Watson and Shane Warne had a few words with him. Tiwary replied back with a couple of boundaries, including one against the bowling of Watson. Tiwary moved in his crease and smacked Watson over the sweeper for a four.
However, a couple of balls later, Watson bowled a short delivery, and Tiwary, in all his aggression went for a hook stroke. The ball hit his edge, and popped up to the fine-leg fielder to do the rest.
This was followed by a celebration that Watson had shown earlier, and had been reprimanded for against Gayle in a Test match in Australia. Watson was seen taunting the batsman and in turn sending him off.
