Just what is it about Andrew Symonds that means he always finds himself in close proximity to trouble. He’s only just returned to the Australian side following a fishing-related dispute that may or may not have involved a beer or two, and already his name is being mentioned in headlines next to the words ‘pub incident’.
I’ve spent a fair amount of time in pubs, and there aren’t that many types of incident that commonly occur. Aside from drunken arguments that get out of hand, the only things that generally elicit the attention of the average pub regular are pint spillage or someone changing the channel on the TV. I would recommend that you neither spill Andrew Symonds’ pint nor change the TV channel if he’s watching something. He hunts with his bare hands, you know.
symmo is the new shane warne. he just cant stay out of trouble. its good for us, bad for him
I actually feel sorry for him this time. He has become fair game for one and all to step out and tease him into an error. I think someone’s hoping something will stick ultimately so that they can then filch his money.
They know he’s a rich bwoy, consumed by the bottle and a little unbalanced in the attic. Easy to provoke him and make him commit a blunder and then make him pay for it.
It is true he himself is responsible to place himself in such a position but he is also an ill man.
I have to admit to an uncharacteristic twinge of sympathy for Symonds, too. He’s now acquired (rightly or wrongly) a ‘reputation’ which will, in some cases, attract ‘trouble’ and unwanted attention in the way that Shane Warne used to.
If this does ultimately frustrate his career, it will be a great shame for Australian cricket (and for neutral fans, too).
[…] not saying the above offer is outrageous and will turn us all into Andrew Symonds. After all, it is advertising mid-strength beer and it is the festive season. However, if it is a […]
