NEWS Cricket World Cup 2007>Aussies relieved after Symonds survives first net session 05th Mar 2007 20.44 IST By Agencies Australia's injury-plagued World Cup preparations received a shot in the arm after all-rounder Andrew Symonds did his first net practice since rupturing his right bicep. Symonds did 10 minutes of batting practice with tennis balls at the Arnos Vale stadium, Saint Vincent, 'The Herald Sun' reported.
Symonds is expected to face cricket balls by next week and start throwing within the next 15 days. Australia physiotherapist Alex Kontouris said he was hopeful of the all-rounder being fit for the match against South Africa at St Kitts on March 24. "He has been using the bat against resistance with a bit of tubing in the rooms, so today we thought we would get him out with a tennis ball," Kountouris said. "It's not that strenuous on his injured bicep, so it wasn't much of a worry. It feels fine. The harder things are to come over the next week," he added.
