Symonds will be good to watch

Although I should of course go and watch Sussex now I live on the south coast, I can't help thinking that Andrew Symonds will be good to watch in Surrey colours, and the Oval just so happens to be the nearest ground to my office! Scoring a half century at a strike rate of 220 to help win the match in the IPL seems like good practice for the mostly second rate (in comparison) County bowling he'll face....

Those of you watching the IPL: was Pietersen not available for selection for Bangalore, or dropped?
