Going fishing is a little different to glassing your girlfriend.

However, this does hilight one of the many reasons why I love cricket. Whereas the NRL seems to gift these losers cushy media positions (Johns) or welcome them as a returning warrior (Sailor), Cricket will boot your arse out of the game if you so much as go fishing.

Commitment is everything, and despite Symonds’ idiocy in this regard, the other sporting codes need to take note of how non-commitment and other indescretions are dealt with by Australian Cricket’s governing body.

Zero-tolerance. Is it too much to ask to show some devotion to a sport that has provided, and will continue to provide you, with so much? All of these bleeding-heart celebrities who bitch and moan about how hard their life is need to spend a few weeks in a single-income family with an average mortgage.

If Matty Hayden was up here for the Top End tour, he’d be off fishing with Symonds too!

Yeh….I am feeling something else is going on here!!
More to come IMHO

Does it have anything to do with a Mr. Brett Lee??

Symonds was seen out on the town after his fishing trip at a Darwin nightclub.

I am not sure precisely what he has done wrong, failed to be 100 percent excited about playing Bangladesh in Darwin and went fishing. Hang em high, Henno what an abomnible act. And to be dressed down in public by the little tosser Michael Clarke, puhlease. As a senior player he should get better treatment, maybe The Vic is right, there’s gotta be something more

Care factor = 0

malvernstar- you are spot on bout that little pissant clarke. i think there is a new brown nose gnome!!! long live jl

I think most Aussies would know of Andrew Symond’s commitment to Australia and cricket – open your eyes and look outside the box that the media write in for what they call “a story”.

AS tells it like it is and if he isn’t talking it’s because the truth is going to knock someone else – he wouldn’t do that! The truth will come out eventually and I bet he shines! Isn’t he a great bloke when he saves a game!!

Agree – Clark’s a pissant alright – reminds me of that pommie captain David Gower, great batsman but cried because he was a useless captain!!

The Man showers in car washes!!! Show him some respect!

As for Clarkey, if being a pissant is all it takes to have snag a missus like that, then waa waa bloody waa!

Mr C, you too can get a Bingle.

Steps to follow :

leave the golden west and move to “The Shire”
hang around Northies
be semi-famous (you could dazzle the blondes with tales of how many posts on ISG !!)
bang on endlessly about how the Shire is Gods country. Not sure if God would have Kurnell, a nuclear reactor, no premierships and a desalination plant, but don’t let that get in the way.
declare your undying love for the Sharks.
join one of the many “championship” golf courses down there, perhaps Royal Kareela

You will be a fully fledged shire man, build it and the blondes will come

1-L, it is all there my friend.

Got to agree with that – he must have something going for him..lol

Fine him then see if he’s interested in playing cricket again ?

It’s not like he is a first offender ?

not hard to get a bingle!! hasnt everyone in nsw & vic had a piece?
yeah real quality tart

Fine him then see if he’s interested in playing cricket again ?

It’s not like he is a first offender ?

don’t you think they would have fined him if there wasn’t more to it… maybe not showing up saved sparking an incident that maybe would have seen a captain incapacitated for a time – wait, it’ll come out eventually!

I am not sure precisely what he has done wrong, failed to be 100 percent excited about playing Bangladesh in Darwin and went fishing. Hang em high, Henno what an abomnible act. And to be dressed down in public by the little tosser Michael Clarke, puhlease. As a senior player he should get better treatment, maybe The Vic is right, there’s gotta be something more

so he signs a contract with Cricket Australia for a very nice annual salary plus other bonuses….part of the contract requires that he attend compulsory team meetings but he can’t be f…d because he’s got other things to do and somehow he’s been hard done by?

OK Faldo, this is Henno’s line, maybe fine him and move on. Missing a meeting IMO is no different to turning up late for training, perhaps missing a team curfew etc, not good but hardly life threatening and a fairly regular event for those of us who follow football codes. All professional sportsmen sign contracts, was the clause in his contract : “miss a meeting and be rebuked publicly by a junior player”. Its the way he has been hauled over the coals thats making a few of us think that there is something more going on.

Sorry Ditty, missed yours earlier which I have just repeated

So its that easy ey… P.s. you could dazzle the blondes with tales of how many posts on ISG !! …. Pure Gold! LOL!

Except if you are Warney!

Except if you are Warney!

exactly… there have always been 2 classes of cricketer in the Australian side, those that can do no wrong and those that are punished for the slightest gaffe

those that will brown nose waugh s., langer, gilly, clarke, mcgrath & the aussie battlers warnie, marto, dizzy & symonds…the ones the punters love
