Symonds sent home, White named as replacement

[iridescentt]

Apparently CA is asking clearance from the ICC to replace Symonds for the upcoming T20 World Cup.

Shouldn't it be more harshness by CA then he deserve it.

 

[Biggy]

I guess it's confirmed - Australians can't handle their drink. Southern lightweights.

Pff.

Leave the man alone, he just wants a beer for God's sake! Such a shame though, was looking forward to him back in the one day side.

Bring back Hayden! That'd be genius. Carseldine to replace though.

I actually was a fan of Symonds and really enjoyed watching him play and hoped that with him getting another chance he could take it and prove what a quality player he is. However, this just proves what an idiot he actually is.

Who cares about a minor alcohol related incident. It shouldn't be career ending its stupid.

BRING HAYDEN IN!!!!!!!

This was said by Sutherland:

"In isolation, the breaches that I am talking about are not serious, but in the scheme of things, in the scheme of history, they are enough for it to be the final straw. I'm disappointing in Andrew, but I'm also disappointed for Andrew. I'm sad about it."

BRING HAYDEN IN!!!!!!!

Agreed, for a first time offence. But when he has constantly broken the rules there has to be a line in the sand. Look at Ryder and all the crap he did. He might not be the finished product yet but he certainly is putting in the effort with regards to stopping the partying and booze. If Symonds wants to drink thats his problem, but then he has to accept that he can't play for Australia.

He's got a whole plane ride home to think about how hes screwed up his career and for that matter his life.

 

[Skater]

He's a twat, he's had so many chances. More than enough. His career is over.

 

[icyman]

I think this is the end of the road for Symond's. I wouldnt be surprised if he quits,seeing as he was tempted to do so,immediately after Hayden had retired.

You ought to check this

Getting Haydos in would not be a bad idea. It will lead to selection headaches for Ponting though.

Also,can we change the topic of the thread to ' Symonds going back home'

Are they allowed to replace him?? They shouldn't be, he isn't injured.

they are sending symonds back so that Symonds could practice in this month of T20 WC and make himself ready for Ashes

 

[Howsie]

So he wanted to watch Queensland win, it's a perfectly good reason to go and waste what ever little chance he had left with CA.
