Australia's Shane Watson leaves MCG after injuring groin on day one of Boxing Day Test Shane Watson has been Australia's best bowler on day one of the Boxing Day Test but has left the field after hurting himself in his run up, as England's batsmen falter at the MCG. Michael Clarke consoles Shane Watson as he leaves the field. SHANE Watson was forced from the MCG and failed to finish his seventh over of the day at the MCG, prompting fears he may have broken down. As England stalled at 3-110, Watson walked from the ground after he appeared to injury himself while running in to bowl the fifth ball of his seventh over. Cricket Australia later confirmed Watson had pain in his right groin, and was being assessed by medical staff before deciding if he will return to the field. Watson, who had 1-11 off his 6.4 overs, has a history of calf injuries. He had earlier snared the wicket of Michael Carberry with a super in-swinger, which hit the top of off stump, after the opener left the ball in the 34th over, just seven overs following lunch.
