So, statistically, verdict clearly goes in favor of Watson to be a better ODI allrounder....
Statistics doesn't tell you the whole picture at times. Switch them around. You will see who performs better. With the bowling support of Johnson and others Shakib would post numbers that would rival Warne's prime numbers even. Let alone Watson's averages and wickets.

In the same token, Watson would sit in the bench had he played for BD most of the time because the captains would use him to the end.
