Five times Andrew Symonds demolished opposition bowlers
In a team full of legends, Symonds was the man who brought energy to the team.
3. 162 vs India, 2008
India tour of Australia has always been the most followed Test series around the world. Back in the 2000s, as the Australian Test team was invincible, even a win was more than enough for Team India to cherish the tour. Before the 2018-19 series win, the 2008 series was the closest Team India could get to winning a Test series in Australia.
While batting first, Australia had a decent start, but a middle-order failure meant that the onus was once again on Symonds to get Australia to a respective score. And the way he played alongside the tailenders meant that Australia finished with 463 runs on the board.
Symonds scored 162 runs and alongside him, bowlers like Brad Hogg and Mitchell Johnson chipped in with valuable contributions with the bat. This was one of his finest innings with the bat and the series was eventually won by Australia. Symonds always had this ability to bat with the tailenders which helped Australia to dominate attacks even during the worst situations.
