Sydney, Jan 2 : There is good news for Cricket Australia after all. Andrew Symonds and Stuart Clark, who are currently injured, are expected to play again this summer after undergoing surgery.

Surgeons removed loose cartilage in Symonds' right knee on Wednesday, and the all-rounder could return for the latter stages of Australia's limited-over series.

Clark, meanwhile, hopes to make his comeback from elbow surgery in a grade game for Sydney University on January 25, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.

He will then endeavour to play in NSW's Sheffield Shield match against Tasmania in Newcastle from January 30.

Sydney, Dec 15 : The withdrawal of Australian pace bowler Stuart Clark from the three-Test series has provided a huge boost for South Africa, but coach Mickey Arthur has warned his batsmen of the dangers of complacency against an attack that still features Brett Lee and Mitchell Johnson.

The Proteas had identified Clark as Australia's main pace weapon, and with good reason, The Sydney Morning Herald reported.

The 33-year-old shredded the South Africans in his debut series, taking 20 wickets at 15.85 in three Tests and removing Jacques Kallis on four occasions.

Sydney, Dec 15 : Injured Australian fast bowler Stuart Clark can learn from the experiences of former state and national teammate Stuart MacGill as he faces the prospect of elbow surgery that may bring his career to an end.

MacGill twice went under the knife to have bone spurs removed from his bowling elbow and returned to international competition on both occasions, The Sydney Morning Herald reported.

The Australian Cricket team is all set to face the Indian Cricket team in the four-test series that would commence from Thursday. 

On Tuesday, Stuart Clark, Australia’s fast bowler who was in Bangalore reported, “You don't get a lot of love back from the wicket. You just got to be patient and bang it in there all day. It can be hard work, but you got to put all that aside. I think Michael Kasprowicz did it well. He got in there and bowled all day and we all know stories about how he lost eight kilograms.”
