Definatly better in ODI's and 20/20, But not quiet as good in tests. In general though, he's a great all-round cricketer.

Symonds is a good ODI player,but Watson has the raw ability to overtake Symmo in the test arena.

Symonds is still better Gazza. He is a genuine allrounder - Bowls, Bats and fields.
Maybe you should phone up the Aussie selectors and inform them of your opinion, I'm sure they'd listen with intent.

Watson in tests. I feel like laughing now. SL would have loved if Watson played instead of Symonds.

Yet Watson has only proved just as useless at both- and symonds a rare find.

Watson is nowhere near Symonds. Symonds is one of the most important member of the australian side while Watson is not even in reckoning. The fact that he was taken to World cup while he hadn't recovered shows how vital he is to the australian team.
Why didn't you use international stats. First class is totally different. |

there's nothing wrong with it if the individual has something decent to add, or a development in the case, ect.

Injured or not, Watson is pretty ordinary compare to the other Aussie boys! |

If watson didn't get injured every time he movers his arms I would disagree with you but seeing he does I do agree with you, but i do have doubts over Roy in tests. |

Well, in my opinion, Symonds is a much better asset to the Australian test side than Watson, yet, Watson will walk into the side and Symonds cant hold his spot??? Symonds is a better bowler, batsman, fielder, all round cricketer and if it was up to me, Watson wouldnt even be carrying the drinks for Australia! Symonds should be a definate starter along with Hodge.

He actually made a double century! I don't think the selectors have the guts to drop Symonds unless he doesn't preform!

He is very vital to their ODI side but he is a waste to Aussie test side. There are many better than him who are waiting for e.g, Hodge - ever heard of a man making a ton and getting drop in the next match.

Symonds is a fantastic all-rounder, maybe a bit dotchy in Tests, but a good asset to Australian agression.

What was said earlier was right, a true all rounder will be in a side for either their batting or bowling. Symonds is more than capable in ODIs in the batting side of things, and his fielding has to be worth 10 runs a game, and his multidimentional bowling is another asset to his limited overs game. In the test arena however, Australia are blessed with so much talent that players like Roy find it had to cement a place in the side because there is always pressure on the from other players. As far as a test all rounder goes, I dont think Symonds could hold a place as a straight batsman or bowler, but he provides another side with his fielding it must not be forgotten. Say Australia field for 180 overs in a test, I have already said he would save 10 runs a game on a ODI, so in 180 over he may be saving 30-40 runs in the field. Add this onto his batting and his bowling and suddenly it looks alot better. Also the Australian team also speaks so highly of him when he does come into a team, they always say he lifts the team with his sense of humour. In conclusion, as a ODI all rounder, I don't think anyone here wouldn't have Symonds in the Australian side, but as a test player, he can't hold his place with a single facet of his game, but the 3 facets he does bring to the team makes him a more than worthy replacement for an injured player.

It is possible for him to adjust for test cricket. He might have to change his technique a bit though since he is such an attacking player.
