Will more people follow the Symonds way ?

Michael Slater commenting on people's states of mind.

It'd be funny if it wasn't so sad.

My question was more about the "national representation" aspect being pushed down the list of priorities ?

Symonds feels "let down" by CA over the monkey gate saga ...any wonder why he couldn't GAF about playing for them ...

...as for "massive distractions" do they come any bigger than someone failing a drug test on the eve of the Gilly ...and how did the team respond to that ...Slater should learn to STFU because he only knows how to dribble shit

Will more people follow the Symonds way?

be drunk q*nts? probably

Sage. Let's face it why would you bother putting up with shit from CA, the ICC and the BCCI if you could make a fortune without them.

Don't wanna see him near the national team ever again but just hope he gets on with his life.

Anyone with half an ounce of mental strength, and a wilingness to forgive and forget, would have got on with life after the 'monkeygate' affair. Symonds just couldn't let it go.

More of an affair than a saga, MB............whatever.
How often have you guys preached to the world to get on with it?
FWIW, I think Australian cricket is better off without him in the long run.

He'll probably settle in Gloucestershire, play cricket and cheese-rolling for the county, marry a local farmers daughter, have 7 kids and subsequently qualify for England. He will then enter The Priory Clinic for 2 months (mainly to get away from the wife and 7 kids) and come out healed, rehabbed and foresaken of the drink.

You wait and see ... he'll be the "new Botham" against the Aussies in Ashes '13, singlehandedly retaining the urn for England.

You heard it here first.

Poor fellow. But he'll be cured for sure.

That preaching is for abuse allowed under the Code of Conduct ...not racial slurs

And roll up for England.

Fixed.

Merls in Circus shocker.

Monkeygate was an allegation made by a player who is a drunk and has been proven to be mentally unstable needing psychiatric help, lacking discipline and creating tensions within his own camp. Not saying that Bhaji is an angel but the fact is that a Kiwi judge heard the case and decided otherwise.

I find it hypocritical to be talking still about Monkeygate in view of what is going on with respect to the Indian students. Again not saying that all of these attacks are racial but there are atleast some as admitted by many top officials.

Don't start up this again, LLL will quote the entire hearsay thread!

Sorry Josh, I'm just reeling from reading the United States Election thread.


Don't let me stop the discussion.

His drinking and mental instability have escalated after monkeygate (and are more to do with how CA responded on his behalf than the slur) .The allegation was backed by some of Symonds' team mates and Bhajji admitted to a slur .

The judge heard the facts as the CA lawyer advised Symonds to tell them ...taking the racial aspect away ...and got crucified by the judge because of it

The attacks on students are stupid

As is trying to link Symonds to them, or any incidents on the cricket field to them.
