At present i'd have to agree with him mate. Hasnt put up the figures thus far.aussie said:nonsense...
true, but it would be wrong to say he has no value to the team...King_Ponting said:At present i'd have to agree with him mate. Hasnt put up the figures thus far.
So what value is he to the side then?aussie said:true, but it would be wrong to say he has no value to the team...
Kinda ironic, what with him being English & all!Crazy Sam said:of course symonds is the best all-rounder we have !! it seems england conditions suit him very well, it's a real shame he isn't in the ashes squad.
A batting average of 30 isn't that bad in ODIs. He's a pretty good fielder, and he's put in some good performances with the ball before too. I'd agree he's not much value to the side in his present role of course, and I've said many times he shouldn't be used like that. Doesn't mean he's not a good player though, nor does it mean giving him international experience is worthless.marc71178 said:So what value is he to the side then?

Almost half of his innings are not outs though.FaaipDeOiad said:A batting average of 30 isn't that bad in ODIs.

I'd love to see Australia picking him ahead of one of the top 6.

Of course he's not suited to that role. It's blatantly obvious to everyone who sees him that he needs to be able to play himself in. He'll probably play a good innings there eventually following a batting collapse or something (he's played a couple like that), but it won't happen often.marc71178 said:Almost half of his innings are not outs though.
Add in a S/R of 68, and I think we can agree he's not suited to that role?
Seeing he put "at present" in captials, emphasising it futher, I think its pretty clear the point he was trying to make. And he's not far off the mark.aussie said:nonsense...
And Peter Taylor was so successful over a long period of time?brockley said:We should take youngsters on as developing players on tour like moises henriques or john hastings,the cupboard is rarely bare at the moment,if they aren't in the domestic comp then pick them from grade,remember we picked peter taylor from grade.
You sound more and more like Liam every day.vic_orthdox said:And Peter Taylor was so successful over a long period of time?
You couldn't possibly pick someone who hasn't even played state cricket at all. Ridiculous proposition.
