I remember when he did that against India last year got a wicket and jumped in the air after he got 1/200. So annoyed when he did that. :x

Symonds :arrow: f***en quickly
Cant believe Watson was not in the side today.

No, Hayden should be f**ked off immediately.

At least Symonds can field.

Symonds should stay and bat 7 as Gilly opens, extra batsmen, not one of the top 5 bowlers though. Spare bowler, 5 overs max.
I would also float Symonds get him on with 10-15 overs to go, regardless of wickets down unless needed before hand @ 7.

It's a great offcutter Razzaq has, at least 5 guys I can remember have chopped back onto the stumps. I wonder how many of his bowled stats are actually chopped back to the stump.

We didn't have enough runs on that wicket.

Piss Hayden off and put Clarkey at No 1, leave Katich in the team and bring Lehman back in for Hayden.

Hoggy went for a million runs on that surface, so I believe the selectors must take some of the responsibility for not playing Watson.

Jeez, what a surprise.

Lehmann was out of the team and you missed his consistent contributions?

Golden boy Katich made a duck?

Razzaq not only bowled well, but batted beautifully under pressure?

Pakistan aren't completely useless?

Wow, who would've guessed.

I think most people want Lehman gone from Tests, but his one day form has been good of late, so im happy for him to stay their.
Katich did get a duck, and it'll probly see him dropped, despite get 76 the other day and Symonds have 4 of 5 inning ducks.

Clarke showed how god a wicket it was coming in later. Imagine how he would have fared a bit higher? Hayden needs to be rested now for the Tests in NZ and on towards England. As Alderman said today his one day form is impacting his test form.

Symonds bowling is useless even despite the wickets and Hogg should never have been played. Watson should have been a shoe in for selection - horses for courses?

I have no idea why Shane has been missing for the past two games, he bowled pretty well I thought against Pakistan in Sydney. :? It seems the worse you play, the more chance you are of staying in the team. It's becoming painful watching Hayden bat.

Lehmann for Hayden (dropped completely).

Gilly
Clarke
Ponting
Martyn
Boof
Kato
Symonds

And if Symonds puts a foot wrong, Watson.

Leaves a bowler short - especially if they play Hogg. Symonds off spin is no more potent than Lehmann, Katich or Clarke.

Watson has to play IMO.
