Dear Lemon Bella,
I agree with you, but in life it is not what you say, but how you say it. In this case, I realised that my initial comments were too hash and not quite appropriate, and based on it, I decided to apologise for it. Nevertheless, I do believe that Andrew Symonds does have an attitudinal problem, because he has a complex, whether it is an inferiority or superiority complex, can be only judged by persons, who are close to him. The problem with all of this is that the team bounding and sprit gets spoilt, especially with the young and up and coming cricketers in the Australian national team. That is my major concern.
Best of wishes,
Muralidaran Ramesh Somasunderam.

Dear Sir / Madam,
I apologise if I hurt Andrew Symonds or anyone else with my views, but I believe that if Symonds wishes to viewed, and judged as a quality player, both in Test Match cricket, and in One Day cricket, he must ensure to allow his performances to do the taking, rather than create bad team sprit and attitude, especially to the young and up coming players in the current Australian team.
Yours Faithfully,
Muralidaran Ramesh Somasunderam.

I totally think Roy did the right thing by going fishing up in Darwin. I mean, who can resist the giant Barra fishing you can do up there.

What was wrong was drinking grog before training and showing up late.

I got a sneak preview of the Cricket Australia media release – “Since the ICC Champions Trophy was to have been the next tournament for Australia after the one-dayers against Bangladesh, we are dropping Andrew Symonds for that tournament. Unfortunately, as everyone knows, the tournament has been tentatively postponed to (not after) October 2009. Symonds’ ban for that tournament will be effective then. Until then, he is eligible for selection.

Cricket Australia prides itself on responding in an appropriate manner to any acts of indiscipline. The Australian cricket team fishes hard but fair. It’s the way Australian teams have fished since the first human settlements on our land. It’s a tough game and from time to time, stuff happens. This isn’t tiddlywinks, so I don’t understand why fish are complaining.”

Good point, Rusty. It does seem like the Aussies want a homogenous bunch of go-getters who are all SUPER KEEN to play for Australia and who preferably have no other interests at all in their lives.

Muralidaran Ramesh Somasunderam – don’t slag of Rob Key. It’s all freedom of speech here, except on Key.

And unless you are Brian, who can say what he wants.

Muralidaran Ramesh Somasunderam and all the rest of yers

Symonds does not have an identity crisis. He is not the problem. He is simply emulating his larrikin predecessors Boon, Merv, Walters, Warne etc. It’s the younger generation who are the new politically correct model, who are the problem.

personally, I’ll take Roy and Hayden any day over tail-wagging Puppy and MR Cricket.
