Now Queensland gets shot of Roy

Wayward Australian allrounder Andrew Symonds was not included in the Queensland squad for the 2009-10 Australian season when it was announced by Queensland Cricket on Thursday.
Symonds, 34, was sent home from the World Twenty20 in England earlier this month after the latest in a series of alcohol-related indiscretions.

Cricket Australia subsequently withdrew its contract offer to Symonds and said it hoped he would continue to play domestic cricket with Queensland.

Symonds, whose management said he is deciding on his future plans after also fielding interest from England and South Africa, previously advised Queensland Cricket not to include him on their contract list for next season.

He was a success in the Indian Premier League, helping the Deccan Chargers to the Twenty20 title in South Africa last month and has another year left on his Deccan contract.

"Andrew has been upfront with us and made a very selfless gesture by advising us not to contract him," QC chief executive Graham Dixon said earlier this month.

"He knows the door is open here and we look forward to catching up with him when he's ready to have a chat about what his plans might be."

I heard that he may play for Queensland as a T20 specialist next season.

What an Idiot...

F*ck. Northants'd take him. We've got enough pubs to get out of his face in and enough rugby players for him to ruck with to his heart's content. It would be like his idea of nirvana.

I reckon Glamorgan should get Roy.


Plenty of pubs, plenty of roid heads and rugby players.


We win.

F*ck off Smerk. We've a pub for every 1,000 people here. Plus, our rugby is the shit.

And stop jumping on the bandwagon, you shit.

You don't have a fishing holes though.

Well, not in the town, no. But the surrounding areas has some of the best fishing going. Ask any boring qunt who likes that mind-numbing load of dross pasttime.

Jeez, I better not mention that Dirk Nannes' Nan was Welsh. Danny might go into meltdown.

I'd say it is odds-on Roy will be a Kolpak for some county next season.

Imagine Hoggy and Roy at Worcs.


With Solanks and Gareth Tw*ty, they'll have a decent line up.

If he did come to us (and I'm by no means sure we could afford him AND Hoggy AND Jonah) it would be as an overseas player.

A bowling line up of


Matthew Hoggard
Kabir Ali
Simon Jones
Chris Whelan
Gareth Batty

With Roy chipping in.

You can probably discount Jonah sadly - but that line-up would make a few people sit up (in Div2! )

Or holding up the bar somewhere west of Offa's ....

A winning combo for the 4 day game. Although SiJo probably won't make it, which is gutting.


Just slot Arif in instead of Jonah. Still not a bad line up.
