Australian cricketer James Faulkner has said that believing experienced all-rounder Shane Watson is way off in his career despite doing well with his left-arm bowling and clean hitting.

Faulkner will tune up for the first Test, if needed, in Tasmania's Sheffield Shield clash with Victoria beginning at Bellerive on Thursday, having been rested from the last match, the report said.
