Not with the amount of talent they have got within their team,&#8221; Watson pointed out.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They seem like a really good, tight-knit unit. They are a really impressive fielding unit. The way all the guys move around the field is pretty amazing to watch.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Australia are the top ranked side in ODI cricket while West Indies languish at number eight, only ahead of minnows Bangladesh and Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the gulf separating the two sides in the international rankings, West Indies have matched the Australians, especially after overcoming the dismal performance in the first ODI.<\/p>\n<p>Struggling at 117 for six in the third ODI, the hosts staged a valiant recovery to eventually bring the match down to the last over.<\/p>\n<p>Watson was quick to praise the Windies, pointing out that the strong opposition they were providing was good for the series.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Getting them six (wickets) down we knew we were just a couple of wickets away from being able to finish the game off,&#8221; Watson noted.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In the end, there&#8217;s been some really good cricket played, some really tight games. It is great for the series, no doubt.<\/p>\n<p>He added: &#8220;West Indies are playing some really good cricket. It&#8217;s going to set up a couple of really good games in St. Lucia and hopefully we can get up and put a complete game together.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The fourth ODI will be played Friday in St. Lucia with the final game of the series set for Sunday.<strong>(IANS)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Kingston<\/strong>: Shane Watson said that the way West Indies is playing in the ongoing five-match One-day international series has not come as a surprise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[1174],"class_list":["post-3674","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-world-cricket-news","tag-shane-watson"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>I am not surprised by the way West Indies is playing: Watson - IndianSportsNews.com - Latest Updated Sports News &amp;
