Bangladesh cricketers hoping to contain rampant Watson

8:55 am on 13 April 2011

Bangladesh's cricketers are confident Australian opener Shane Watson will not repeat his record-smashing batting feats in tonight's final match of their one-day series.

The Bangladesh batsman Shahriar Nafees says the all-rounder's brutal unbeaten 185 from 96 balls in Monday's game two was a "once-in-a-lifetime" innings, with a healthy touch of luck.

While Australia chased down their victory target of 230 with 24 overs and nine wickets to spare, Nafees says on any other day it would have been different.

He says seeing the way Watson played 300-350 runs wouldn't have been enough to defend, but says the all-rounder won't be able to repeat his heroics tonight.
