Symond is easily Australia's best allrounder. With the inclusion of the super-sub we should see Hopes being selected for Australia more often and he is a very gifted allrounder.
he's a pretty good batsman, decent fielder & gives Ponting a good option with the ball. Its obvious that his fugures dont show much, but has we have argued before he plays a alien role for Australia so he wont be able to do much.marc71178 said:So what value is he to the side then?
i dont see who else could better fit in to the spot that Watson occupies other than Hogg presently.marc71178 said:Exactly my point, what value does he add that someone else couldn't add better?
Hopes comes to mind and has i said before for the mean time Hogg..marc71178 said:Erm, someone who can bowl?
James Hopes, Ian Harvey, - God, even Cameron White! - are better suited to that role than Shane Watson.aussie said:i dont see who else could better fit in to the spot that Watson occupies other than Hogg presently.
Yep. White could do a good job there actually, if his batting continues to improve. Hopes is the man for the job now though, if you ask me. Watson shouldn't be in the ODI team until he can play as a batsman.vic_orthdox said:James Hopes, Ian Harvey, - God, even Cameron White! - are better suited to that role than Shane Watson.
Cameron White will never play for Australia until the Aus. selectors stop trying to pidgeonhole him as an out-and-out leg-spinner. He's going to be a genuine all-rounder, and if anything more of a batting all-rounder.FaaipDeOiad said:Yep. White could do a good job there actually, if his batting continues to improve.

Wite will play for Australia whenever Hogg gets dropped which could be sooner rather than later...vic_orthdox said:Cameron White will never play for Australia until the Aus. selectors stop trying to pidgeonhole him as an out-and-out leg-spinner.

Hopefully Merv will put paid to that.
