Shane Watson, who was struggling to find form, has roared back to his classy best in the ongoing World Cup, and was given a hero's welcome in the dressing room after playing a match winning innings against Pakistan in their quarterfinal tie in Adelaide.
Watson battled past Riaz's ferocious spell and scored an unbeaten 64 runs to guide his team to a six wicket over Misbah-ul-Haq's team.
Reflecting on Watson's 'high-class' performance, Glenn Maxwell said that the boys got right around him as soon as he got to the change rooms and there was plenty of celebrating going on, News.com.au reported.
Maxwell added that people were doing Watson's impersonation-which is just screaming.
Australia will meet defending champions India on Thursday in Sydney in the World Cup semifinal.
