The Australian selectors have thrown enfant terrible Andrew Symonds a lifeline with a perform-or-perish inclusion in the team to play Pakistan in Abu Dhabi later this month.But although Ricky Ponting has welcomed his inclusion, South African skipper Graeme Smith believes the all-rounder's presence could be "disruptive".
"He has a lot of experience, he has played a lot ofu00a0 key knocks for them at (number) five," Smith said yesterday in Cape Town, where his team defeated the Australians by 25 runs last night to take a 2-1 lead in the ODI series.
"He (Symonds) does provide them with a little bit more balance, I guess," Smith said. "He's a great fielder. In terms of a cricketer, I think they'd love to have him back.
Negative effect?
