Even the flash wouldn't have managed to avoid being run out by Symonds.

Symonds fielding is over hyped IMO. Those runs outs were fairly simple. Especially the first one. Most school boys would have hit the stumps from that distance

It amazes me how batsmen constatly hit the ball to him and decide to run. Games hinge on wickets not measly singles. Its plain stupid to risk so much for one single.

Or your expectations of your fielders must be pretty low. I am not denying that he is a fantastic fielder (probably the best going round at the moment IMO) but just because he runs some one out doesnt mean it was a great piece of work just because he is a great fielder. As I said those run outs were fairly simple. Especially for someone of Symonds calibere

Another dominating series win. NZ are a solid team and try hard but lack the pure class needed to beat such a great team.

No, makes the difficult look easy - that's the definition of quality.

Very few, if any, other fieldsmen in the world would have been in the position to effect those run-outs.
