Ryan Robert Watson born 12 November 1976, Salisbury (now Harare), Zimbabwe) is a cricketer who plays for Scotland. Watson is a hard hitting right-handed batsman and is able to bowl both medium-fast and off-break deliveries. He hit the headlines in 2003 when he hit a century off just 43 balls in a game against Somerset at The Grange, Edinburgh.

Early Days

In 1998, Watson along with Warren Carne a free lance cricket writer were on the cricket coaching staff of Potchefstroom boys high in South Africa. He decided at age 23 to leave his South Africa and qualify to play for Scotland under residency rules. His early career in Scotland was at Falkland cricket club in Fife before later moving to Forfarshire CC. His father Larry played cricket for Rhodesia now Zimbabwe.

International career

Watson made his ODI debut on the 27th of June 2006 against Pakistan at Edinburgh and had to step in at the last minute as captain. With Scotland struggling at 4/20, Watson led from the front by scoring 80 off 85 balls. In January 2007 he hit a match-winning 117 not out against Canada as they successfully chased 293 in a One Day International at Mombasa. It was the first ever century for Scotland in ODI cricket.

He had a largely disappointing Cricket World Cup in 2007 although he had the privilege of captaining his side for their second group match against South Africa. The opposing captain was his ex-school mate Graeme Smith. After the tournament Watson was given the job fulltime, replacing Craig Wright as captain.
