One has to wonder about Trevor Hohns performance atm. He seems to be getting a bit to old to be a selector and his form of late has been bad to say the least.
Trevor Hohns to be dropped asap!

Just reading an article about Andrew Symonds on www.news.com.au.
And read this quote.. "Acting on a recommendation from Ponting, the selectors gave Symonds the last place in the 15-man squad ahead of Blewett and Harvey. "
Thanks Ponting!

The position of Symonds occupies in the squad is that of the second all rounder.
I think from the previous posts its agreed by most this was always going to be out of Harvey, Blewett or Symonds.
Much as I regard Harvs (as a Victorian) his form at international level with the bat has been poor and inferior to Symonds. Blewett had emerged as something of a smokey. His bolwing at ODI level is pretty much untested.
Symonds is an undoubted and freakish talent but terribly inconsistent.
It was a real toss up - but as others have pointed out Symonds is a bonus purely as a professional twelfth man.
And that I suspect was the reason for his selection.
I've been thinking the same thing...Originally posted by bluechampion
I can't help but feel as if he's been picked as a professional 12th man. He can come on and scorch in the field, and not be required to embarass himself demonstrating any of the other skills of cricket.
