 Topic: Symonds Vs FlintoffPosted: 23 March 2006 at 10:36am |

Alright this is to settle this discussion once and for all, i say Symonds very slightly as wickets are not that important in a One-Day International, its about economy. Symonds is the better batsman, and wateva Symonds loses to Flintoff in the bowling department he makes up for it in the field.

Symonds: Pro's The best super hitter in cricket, handy bowling in both forms, excellent fielding Con's Bad defensive game, no sign of good test batting Flintoff: Pro's Handy batting, should rank up their in the Top 3 bowlers in the world Con's Fielding no where as good as Symonds, Not as good hair do as Symonds Edited by cricket_mstr |

Flintoff is an exceptional fielder - one of the best slip catchers in
the game and an extremely powerful arm when fielding in the deep

recent form it has to be flintoff.the way he batted and bowled against the indians i think he is the best. there is no match for him at the present. he was cool in his approach. the way he bowled the bouncers, he has exceeded my expectations. |

Succinctly put Jumbo. Just ask yourself a simple question , who do you want bowling 10 overs and batting when it matters? Easy answering that , isn't it? |

I think Andrew Symonds is an awesome player and I have to add, one of my favourite players. I'm sorry but you can't put him in the same league as 'freddie'. You think that 'pig mullet' looks great? you can't be serious?

freddie was awesome in the tests. it looked as if he wasn't putting any efforts. he bowled as if he was bowling to me the indian batsmen were completely fooled by his bouncers |

freddie no doubt about it. he is too impressive and consistent with the ball and bat where symonds is wild and is inconsisent with his scores.

I hate to admit it but I'm going with Symonds. In ODIs he is exceptional and although Freddie wins hands down on tests, its Symmo for me in ODIs I'm afraid.

i think symonds, mainly becuase flintoff has had a few years at test level to get the feel of it, whereas symonds hasnt quite got there yet, but with regard to odi's symmonds is definately the better of the 2

I would go for Freddy because I don't like Symonds, and Flintoof ahs been in the team for almost all the matches. Symonds is not taken for all matches. Plus he is a smoother player. More dangerous. More famous and popular.

Freddies bowling is much better in both forms, i would put freddy over symonds batting wise in both forms, symonds better fielder, but something that is huge is that what do these players bring to their teams! Symonds brings no way near what freddy does to england, he is the heartbeat of the england team.

I would definately go with Freddi. I can tell you one thing they both have in common though------ they were both born in England Symonds is a great player though but I just prefer Freddi compared to him...no offense. |

I think Freddie is better than Symonds because Freddie can play well in both ODI and Test. Symonds can only play well in ODI. And the only thing Symonds can do is slog. Freddie can protect his wicket, and slog. The only thing Symonds is better at is fielding.

Symonds doesn't slog. They're all proper cricket shots. |

No offense mate but i think both players are even in how dangerous they are, Symonds can turn a match with batting, fielding and on the odd occasion with bowling, and Flintoff with the bat and ball. You say that Flintoff is more popular, well there are not a lot of people in Australia who dislike Andy Symonds he is probobably the most liked cricketer in Australia, Flintoff the most liked in England, You cant compare. |

I think Freddie is a better all-rounder he ranks 2nd for best test all-rouners and he is also 2nd for Odi allrounders

Symonds is 3rd and those rankings do not indicate how excellent his fielding is, all the remarkable catches, run outs and saved runs.
Symonds is the most popular cricketer in Australia at the moment along with Hussey..do not say Freddy has a great deal more popularity..he has little here in Australia, but a lot in many other places.
