Any help would be appreciated.

I am using Mathematica 5.2 & 6.0

I am having trouble finding the correct form of Pattern Matching for 
pairs of Numbers. I do not know whether to use Select, Cases, Pick, 
etc. I am also unsure how to set the pattern matching argument.

Assume I have the list

lst = {{1,1}, {1,2}, {1,3}, {1,4}, {2,2}, {3,1}, {3,2}, {3,3}, {4,1}, {4,4}}


I would like to match/select pairs that have the same set of numbers 
only reversed, that is, the selection would find

{{1,3}, {3,1}, {1,4}, {4,1} }

Thanks for your help
