Symonds wants longer innings
CricInfo, undated
Andrew Symonds might be suffering from a lack of batting time as Australia's top-order dominates at the World Cup, but he feels ready for a long innings if his teammates allow it. Matthew Hayden, Adam Gilchrist, Ricky Ponting and Michael Clarke are in the top 15 run-scorers for the tournament and while the success has been great for the team, it has prevented Symonds from starring in his preferred discipline after returning from arm surgery. Symonds has bowled in each game and he was able to employ medium pace in the win over England on Sunday, which is a huge bonus for Australia with Shane Watson out injured. However, his batting at No. 5 has been limited to cameos of 18, 13, and 28 not out.
