Technique and tips to field in the slips

Shane Watson is preparing for one of the biggest periods of international cricket in his career, starting with Australia's tour of Zimbabwe.

However, the allrounder still found the time to film a very useful Master Class on slips fielding for cricket.com.au's viewers.

Watson not only talks about the best positions to be in for both the quicks and the spinners, but he also details some drills that he uses as part of his preparation to tackle the world's best.
