England & NZ are very multicultural countries but their cricket teams don't represent this, if anything teams are getting less diverse. I find monoculture boring.
I'm advocating simply on stats. Ur downplaying based on opinion. Maybe cause you viewed Symonds strictly as an all rounder. Numbers say otherwise.
Pretty much every Aussie opener averaged near or over 40. Border, Waugh, Maxwell etc average closer to 30. Bevan & Hussey are exceptions but very...
Only warner beats Symonds in both average & strike rate (& openers generally have higher averages for reasons I mentioned earlier). Statswise his odi record is among very best for Australia.
You need to go back to basics. Not outs mean innings cut short. Ponting batting at top had more time to build innings & really get going when he had his eye in. Symonds would've made bigger scores & did when given the chance.
Are you really pulling not out card?! Means Symonds average should actually be higher, particularly a lot of the time he came in right at the end & was expected to go big.
Statistically one of Australia's great odi batsmen.
