For Australia to win the the Ashes 5-0 is 'wishful thinking', says Shane Watson
Former Australia all-rounder Shane Watson believes that any opinion that suggests Australia, who are currently leading the five-match series by 1-0, winning the Ashes 5-0 is in fact 'wishful thinking' considering how difficult it is for teams win a series away from home these days.
Watson is definitely pleased with how Australia has performed in the first Test at Edgbaston but winning the away series by 5-0 is still a far off dream.
“That (5-0 Ashes win away from home) is wishful thinking. It’s so incredibly hard to be able win away from home.
"It’s not just the Ashes, for most teams winning away is looking impossible now,” Watson said in an interview with the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL).
The veteran all-rounder also added that he was extreemly pleased to watch the way Steve Smith fared in the first Test match and that the remaining matches would be challenging for the hosts, given they are currently trailing in the series.
“For us to get off to such a great start, winning the first Test match it’s been amazing, especially Steve Smith. For him to come straight back in and hit the ground sprinting and single-handedly get Australia that win is incredible.
“England can be pretty good at panicking at certain times, it’s going to be a true test of what their make up’s like as a team after their World Cup win and how they are able to bring things together and turn it around quickly,” Watson added
