Melbourne, Nov.11 : Queensland and Australian all-rounder Shane Watson and some other Australian cricketers have become pin-up boys in a soon-to-be-released calendar aimed at raising funds for the McGrath Foundation.

The blond-haired, blue-eyed Watson, according to the Courier Mail, hottie, who is also known as the main squeeze of Fox Sports talking head Lee Furlong, peeled off his threads for the racy shoot at Coolum beach recently and emerged as somewhat of a natural according to snapper Pedro Virgil.

We had to coax him a little but once he got going he was happy to go along with it,'' Pedro told Confidential.

He has obviously trained hard to get the build that he has and he has done well for himself.''

Other cricket players who appeared for the shoot were Michael Clarke, Mitchell Johnson, Simon Katich, Shaun Tait and Ben Hilfenhaus.
