We were only talking of replacing Gilly if he got a bad injury.
In which case, Campbell would be the man.

Symonds is only in because he can bowl a bit of off spin as well as medium. He only needs to bowl a few overs a match, because Lehmann, Martyn and Bevan can all pitch in with some useful overs as well.

also he is an excellent fielder and can do a lot of damage with the bat.

Yeah he has the potential to do damage with the bat. Question is when has actual damage been caused ?? County Cricket does not count.

Potential is a dangerous word as sometimes it never eventuates. The selectors make a big fuss about form and Australia A yet Symonds has done nothing to vindicate selection.

Australia will struggle against a team like South Africa, New Zealand etc to get 10 overs out of Lehmann, Watson, Martyn, Bevan, Symonds etc etc.

JLC. We all know you don't like Watson and Symonds being in the WC squad. It's a bit tedious to keep reading it, m8.

They've been selected and they're going to the World Cup. Good on 'em! Congratulations to the 15 chosen to represent their country!

There'll always be some players considered unlucky to miss out - Harvey,Waugh,Hauritz etc. - and vice versa - Hogg,Symonds,Watson etc. but that's the selected squad so let's get behind them and be positive - unless you're Clokey, of course, who backed the Windies to win at 20/1. Lol.

Thats fine you are entitled to your opinion. Im sure if the results don't go as planned or Australia doesn't reach the final i won't be the only person sounding tedious.

Someone has to tell Symonds to fake an injury for the good of his country so that we can bring Harvey in. Harvey and Symonds always dissapoint with the bat so you take the better bowler which Harvey clearly is.

Yeah, m8. Recent events make that team look good, even if a touch thin on the bowling side.

ok lets wait till the World Cup then see ok.

From what i have seen he seems a bit one paced ? Doesnt seem to have a great variety in terms of pace ?

By the way if he couldnt bowl well in front of his home crowd with 15,000 people cheering his name on his home wicket then he will never bowl well.
