It is fair to say that Shane Watson was at the height of his powers as a batsman between 2009-11 in all formats of the game.

And, poor Bangladesh found that out first hand in April 2011, when Watson smoked their bowling attack to all corners of the stadium in Dhaka.

The extent of Watson’s domination can be gauged from the fact that he scored 185 (off 96 balls)  out of a total of 232 during Australia’s run chase of 230.

Watson smashed as many as 15 fours and 15 monstrous sixes during his whirlwind knock and broke Matthew Hayden’s record of highest individual score in ODI cricket. Hayden had scored 181 against New Zealand in 2007.

Apart from breaking that record, Watson also created a world record of hitting most sixes in a single inning, but that was eventually broken by Rohit Sharma, who stroked 16 sixes during his 209 against Australia in 2013.
