Melbourne: Australias injury-plagued World Cup preparations received a shot in the arm after Andrew Symonds did his first net practice since rupturing his right bicep.
Symonds had 10 minutes of batting practice with tennis balls, according to a daily.
Symonds said he felt good during the brief session, which prompted the team management to postpone the medical examination of his arm by a day.
Symonds is expected to face cricket balls by next week and start throwing within the next 15 days.
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, Australia physiotherapist Alex Kountouris said.
