The Australian allrounder Shane Watson says he feels personally vindicated for making a stand against thestate of the Australian dressing room last year.
As Australia continues to celebrate the most emphatic 5-0 Ashes cricket whitewash in history, Watson is reflecting on how coach Darren Lehmann made him enjoy cricket again.
Watson says he knew what was happening within the Australian team and Lehmann comes in and within one day turns that all around.
Watson says Lehmann reassured him that he was right to question the team's culture, after his relationship with former coach Mickey Arthur had hit rock bottom.
In a dramatic year off the field, Watson was stood down for a test in India for not handing in his homework and was reportedly referred to as a "cancer" by Michael Clarke in documents tabled by Arthur in court.
