Symonds - Superstar!!

[jim boy]

And you drongos think he can't play!

me included

 

[GhostofJimJess]

hehehe ... you gotta laugh, don't you Jim Boy. His name has been mud around here for quite a while.

 

[Spogs]

Don't think too many say he can't play.

His head just contains liquids where it should be solid.

Full credit to him. Not sure I'd pick him next game though. Bit like a beautiful woman who gives the best sex but only twice a year. You want to tell her to get lost but just have to give her another go.

 

[blackdiamond]

Puts those Greg Blewett fans back in their hole!

143 n.o from 125 balls. Amazing.

I haven't bagged him nearly as much as others, but i still classed him as a hack who didn't deserve to be in the squad.

 

[acuguy]

i for one never bagged,him, i always thought it was unfair what people expected from him, symonds needs time to bat, he got it today and BINGO.

 

[mattyc2422]

I love Andy Symonds. Never doubted the boy except a few times.

Seriously, he batted tremendous and should have knocked Waqars head in.

 

[scmods]

I always said he was fantastic. Really, I did. It must have been in all those posts that were lost when the server crashed.

 

[topdon]

He has arrived!

 

[Ripper]

All Hail Superandrew!!!!

I for one never doubted him.

Who feels silly now? lol

 

[Kenny_01]

Saved us today! We were looking at a total of 150 at one stage. Getting 310 was simply amazing.

 

[Destructive]

He has finally stood up to be counted. What an innings.

 

[Port01]

I'd like to use this moment to once again call for the heads of Martyn and Bevan.

But, aside from my hobbyhorse, good on him, brilliant innings, entertaining and powerful.

Showed he wasnt going to take any crap as well which is unlike what I've seen from him in the past. Looked like he finally thought he belonged in the aus team after passing 100 (once the tears in his eyes dried up)

 

[lamby29]

He certainly proved me wrong. Surely he must take Martyn's spot in the side after the World Cup.

 

[CarterS]

Surely this will secure his spot for at least the preliminary games. We all knew he had incredible potential and he would deliver eventually and what a time to deliver. Saved the game for Australia. Man of the match peformance, hopefully he gets a bowl too.

Greg who ?

 

[TheRealBuzz]

My brother suddenly has a memory rivalling that of an Elephant. And he's quite enjoying reminding me of some of the very nasty things I said about Mr Symonds.

I still say we bring in Greg Blewett.

 

[MightySaint]

I have egg all over my face and a smile from ear to ear

 

[CarterS]

He is a QLD'er of course he delivers when we need him most.

 

[ScouseCat]

It just goes to show what a bit of confidence and belief in your ability can do for you. Andrew Symonds has always had the talent, it's only now he's finally been able to realise it. Lets hope he continues on from here now... no looking back.

 

[Calamity]

Thank the maker!

I've been a Symonds supporter for a long time... but even I was beginning to doubt that he would ever show what I KNEW he could... that'll teach me for straying from the straight and narrow..

Go ROY!

*phew* I feel like a weight has lifted.. just like it did when Matty Hayden made *his* breakthrough a couple of years back!

[Booze Hound]

The crunching sound of some of you hitting revrse gear is giving me a headache

 

[lamby29]

Well I want him to
