didn't do to bad in the last tour. I thought out of everyone the english would realise how dangerous symonds is the amount of times his smashed quick tons in county. i admit symonds isn't a bowler. Although his a better batter and feilder than flintoff but alround flintoff is a better player as his not far behind in batting but symonds is a better batter than flintoff and does show control, how can you say he doesnt have control he hasnt got out from a really,really bad shot early in his innings he has when his got past the 50s twice i don't know what game yous are watching but flintoff and symonds are educated hitters its what they play cricket for and they both show the same amount of control its just whether they pick the right ball or not and im not a biased aussie i love watching both of them

Also Flintoff can afford to have a hit because he is a lower order batsman, Symonds can come in at No 4 and hit 6s



you really do live in your own little fantasy world, don't you?

This same Symonds who "has smashed the English bowling line up" averages 22 against England....very very ordinary

I don't know where the magic stats come from but in the last tour of England Symonds had a good innings every match after his big night out

The "magic stats" are fact as it happens - his career smashing the England bowlers reads -

23, 11, 0, 8, 0, 0, 73, 74, 29, 6, 5*

oooh devastating

I would say Flintoff is overrated as a batsman/'super hitter' and Symonds part time bowling not to be taken seriously

cricket_mst do you honestly think things through before you post.... How about just admitting that Flintoff is the better alrounder.... How can you say he is overatted as a batsman ?? your obviously did not see any of the ashes series? He was in excellent form....

As for symonds bowling, what do you mean by "Symonds part time bowling not to be taken seriously" ??? do you mean that his bowling is overrated, or that his bowling is underestimated ???

You just get better and better!!

The only reason I don't delete most of your tripe is simply because I don't want any inadequates on this forum to think THEY are the most stupid.

.....you win that contest hands down lad.

To stop my type of scathing rebuke , try to post a little more sensibly.

for starters. i don't know how anyone who hasnt played international cricket can say all this stuff as you probaly aint even doing well in club cricket apart from even being able to face a bowler and symonds could get any of us out and yes maybe not the best international bowler but he still has more wickets than us doesnt he so why call him  when his the one playing international cricket and were not.

I think symonds stats vs england are average but he still has a career average of 37 in odi which is not bad at all for a hitter who has batted at the death of the innings most of his career.

Symonds hits them better than freddie, and bats a little bit better but freddie is a quality bowler one of the best in the world so you can even compare the 2 but fielding is in symmos favour

so let's just clarify this - anyone who hasn't played international cricket isn't entitled to an opinion on it?

Clobs right Macca , not playing test cricket doesn't mean one doesn't understand the skills involved.

What is undeniable is Flintoff's standing with his fellow professionals and that of Symonds too. WE all have an opinion and from experience make our judgements.

And using that criteria , Flintoff is better!

Macca , you've just moved into 2nd place behind cricket_mstr in the "Save Me I'm an Inadequate" stakes.

He's a class act , but from today's posting , you have the potential to go ALL the way!

look out and i care why!!!! Your probaly some grown man who plays the lowest grade and probaly couldn't get a game if you were in juniors. Thats why you make your self feel better by coming on this forum and making it out to be your so good as you know no one will ever know if you are or not.

Its ok mate i feel sorry for you, now you don't need everyone else to.

So when you calling a test player useless just remember how far you went or are gonna go!!

                                                                                               ok

Okay , I'll go back to infants school. (very small words).

At no time did I say Symonds (sorry , big word ,but that's his name) was "useless" , he's good.

But here's the bit I'm hoping will sink into your lil brain.........

    .......I and LOTS of others think Flintoff (sorry!!) is best (it should read better , but that's ANOTHER biggie!)
