Andrew Symonds’s reward for his match-winning World Cup innings against Pakistan may be a demotion in Australia’s batting order. The all-rounder emerged at number six to score a spectacular 143 not out at the Wanderers yesterday, catapaulting the world champions to an easy 82-run win in the group A contest.But with Darren Lehmann to return after serving the last match of a five-game ban, and Michael Bevan expected to be fit after a groin injury, Symonds may find himself squeezed down to number seven for the next match, against India on Saturday. “I don’t know what we will do and it is a tough selection problem that I haven’t really thought about too much yet,” Australia captain Ricky Ponting said. “I guess it will be Lehmann at five, Bevan at six and Simmo will have to slide down the pole to seven for the next match.”
