Australian all-rounder Shane Watson has revealed he consulted Rahul Dravid on how to convert good starts into big tons and overcome concentration lapses during an innings.

Watson, vice-captain of the Test squad touring Sri Lanka, said he has a burning ambition to make big hundreds. He currently averages 50.33 in 27 Tests with the highest of 126.
Watson said he sought Dravid's advice during the IPL last year where they both played for Rajasthan Royals. "During IPL, I had really good chats with Dravid about what he goes through to be able to bat for a long period of time.
"I have got to be mentally tougher to make sure I do get through those periods where your concentration starts to lapse," Watson told Sydney Morning Herald.
