Re: Andrew Symonds

Symonds keeps racking up the misdemeanor points but more importantly he should have known that going on the radio and being interviewed after drinking was a bad move. He is what 33 but is acting like an immature 19yo (apologies to any 19yo but you know what I mean)

He's become a liability and despite our lack of an all-rounder of his ilk surely he can't keep playing test matches for Australia?

Re: Andrew Symonds

ACB or CA or whoever it is are looking more stupid by the minute the way they are handling this, they have dug a hole that they cannot get out of, if other players do something wrong, then they now must get 2-4 chances or they could take the cricket board to court for discrimination.
I wouldnt be surprised if a few Australian team members who were against him getting a game would also be saying I told you so.
On another note, how good has it been seeing new faces in the team, Warner etc, we arent winning games but the new blood is definitely exciting to watch and the future looks great, should have been done a year or 2 ago.

That's been my opinion for a while.

Looking forward to Hughes. Batted somewhat like Oram in the 20/20 the way he removed his front foot to allow him to slog.

What got me was that this was his first "official" warning, so when he went fishing, and couldn't be bothered joining the rest of the team, as a senior player, that must have been "ok"...

Ever since he has started appearing on just about every second commercial, his dimena & game has gone down hill fast, was just over a year ago and he was flying, he couldn't do wrong.

He came out yesterday and said, it was a tongue in cheek statement, or something to those lines, about the comments he made on McCullum...yeah, right!!! Nice backflip.

It's a shame, because i thought he was awesome, his no BS attitude, his mongrel on the field etc, now he just looks stupid, it's like he can't handle it, and the first thing he should be doing is stop making commercials, and concentrate on playing great cricket, some players can handle the limelight, Roy clearly cannot!!!
