Shane Watson's latest injury has given him time to think about life beyond cricket and he is spending much of his time on his guitar, writes Malcolm Conn in the Australian.
He now has sore fingers to go with his sore back. It is this life-long passion for music and the more recent obsession with the guitar which Watson, 27, believes may be part of his life after cricket. While the talented and committed Watson will take a typically uncompromising approach to his latest round of rehabilitation on a body that continues to let him down, he is beginning to think about a future beyond bat and ball.
"It's pushed things into gear to see things after cricket," Watson said of his latest injury. "This is a time I'm really trying to get things going with life after cricket. When things continue to be taken away, who knows where the end is going to be. Hopefully, it will be 10 years but you never know.
