Wow, didn't see this one coming. Who would have thought Symo would get on the piss and miss training?:D

I reckon he may have even broken Warnie's record for being sent home early from a World Cup.

Sounds like that will be the case soon, he'll be able to drink as much as he wants without having to worry about Australian team training and rules

Think whatever happened with Pup & Him, as well as the fact that Cricket Australia completely fucked him over in the Singh affair, pretty much turned him from a gun into a moody, grumpy prick.

What's fucking Pup's deal thought? If he's meant to be our next Captain, why does his best mate hate him?

[Mancey]

Dougie was half cut when he made his highest test score apparently.

Was on the piss the eve of the first day until 4am, and had to be woken up to go to bat. Went out, was 129* at stumps, went to the bar, and drunk till the hotel manager complained to the team manager he wanted to close the bar at 4am again.

Dougie then came out and tonked his way to 250 on day 2.

If you perform who gives a fuck.

he is:

[Penovic]

I don't like Clarke anymore.

Ever since he got involved with Bingle hes become a personalityless zombie, plus his cricket has been inconsistant.

[jimmy35]

But he's from NSW :D

Yeah exactly, some guys can still perform after a night on the piss and some can't.

There was a great story in Kerry O'Keefe's book about how Marshy and Dougy Walters took him on a brewery tour the day before a test in Adelaide. Marshy and Dougy started hitting the piss and Kerry, as the new boy, didn't want to look like a soft cunt so went drink for drink with them.

The next day Kerry said he was hungover as fuck and kept dropping catches and misfielding, whilst Dougy and Marshy were good as gold.

Women are a genuine problem these days arent they? Fucking ordering us around so much, and the problem is, all these fucking 55kg males who have their stupid fucking long hair and shit sit there and take it cuz they are pussies of the highest order.

[Kingy]

I don't like Clarke anymore.

Ever since he got involved with Bingle hes become a personalityless zombie, plus his cricket has been inconsistant.

Least fucking Kato, the angry unit, tried to sort the little bastard out.

I used to rate Pup, but I reckon he's been too clean - he's never done anything wrong (like Punter getting beaten up), he's always worked the media perfectly, and he's been the golden boy since day one.

[Hugh Jorgen]

haha flintoff is a pisshead.

Enough to make you like him, even if he does play for England! :D

Yeah Freddy's a legend, on and off the field. Probably more off it these days.

He's a bit like Botham, more an Aussie type of bloke than a Pom.

[dmc333]

he is:

a pussy
yes man
poof (lara is a cover up)

These are the things CA (not afterworld) uses to get women in the gates. Women love the feeling that the guy holding the most important position in Australian cricket is actually a faggy lapdog of women.

[Kingy]

He's a bit like Botham, more an Aussie type of bloke than a Pom.

Actually reminds me of an interview I saw with Brian Lara - who stated he sometimes wished he was Australian so he could've played with our team; and that most times he was in Australia, he spent more time with our cricket team than his.

[Mike Oxlong]

this cuntry is just getting gheyer and gheyer with all these rules, pc tossbags, fucking fun police.

Yeah it's no surprise that most of these problems started when Punter and Clarke got themselves hitched up. In the old days Punter was like Symo, getting on the piss and getting in punch ups at the Bourbon & Beefsteak. Clarke used to be a bit of a party boy too. Now they are both pussy whipped, goody two shoes, CA yes men. Poor old Symo is the odd man out these days.

Actually reminds me of an interview I saw with Brian Lara - who stated he sometimes wished he was Australian so he could've played with our team; and that most times he was in Australia, he spent more time with our cricket team than his.

Of all the Pommy cricketers, the Aussie players respect Flintoff the most. Not just for his cricket abilities but also for his pisshead abilities. Lets face it, you'd love to have someone like Freddy in your team.

[Kingy]

that's awesome

Yea - he actually said that when he started, he loved the Windies Cricket Team, with blokes like Ambrose, Richardson, Hooper and the like all about.

After that, he felt the new guys didn't care enough about their cricket, didn't respect him, didn't respect the heritage or the strength of the West Indies Cricket Team, and he just wasn't keen on them.

Yet he compared the Australian Team of his era with the dominant Windies Team, respected him for his cricket ability and also as a person, and he felt like a valued, respected team-member, and a friend, with them.

[Keyser Soze]

I guess there's mods everywhere hey.

[Keyser Soze]

[Jather Fack]

Lenny Pascoe and Dougie Walters at the sportsmans night i saw in Vanuatu a month or two ago had a few tales to tell relating to being on the piss back in their day (not that i recall any details, i was pretty pissed myself) and it had me wondering what the current crop will do in retirement. Somehow, telling tales of how they only did 4 laps of the oval when the coach asked for five is unlikely to cut it imo.

[Curtis Stone]

Surely Sooz would be on top

Funnily enough she likes me in control.

Yeah, got me baffled too. :confused:

[dmc333]

How shit are cricket autobiographies going to be from this point?

Punter will have to release two volumes. One when he was a hard partying goatie wearing cunt, which everyone will read. Then episode two when his missus straightened him out and got a rug, which will be in the $1 bin at A&R within two months.

And Clarke's will be endless chapters talking about brown nosing, scoring marketing deals and buying shoes for Bingle.

[dmc333]

Bit of hatred for Clarke out there

It was reported that symonds had "disdain for the team hierarchy"..With Michael Clarke in that hierarchy,who can blame him........The boys should have let Katich belt Clarke in the S.C.G. dressing room... Posted by: Dave of bankstown 5:34am today

Clarke is a sook and will do anything for the captaincy, even if it means scrubbing his mate. Tight lines Roy love your work, great to see a character in there not robots Posted by: GW 9:16am today

Good luck Roy - I reckon hanging out with self-righteous, boring twats like Ponting, Clarke and Hussey would drive me to the nearest pub too. Posted by: Stoo of sydney 9:06am today

So what did he do? Have a light beer in the hotel bar after training. Tell Michael Clarke he's a pansy? Cricket Australia aren't really spilling any beans. Tell us what he did. I bet it will be something so innocuous and petty. Posted by: Chris of Currumbin 8:58am today

Australian cricket team once beer guzzling tourists in the Boon era...Now a bunch of goody goody squeaky clean metro nerds i;e Michael Clarke.... Good luck Roy all the best, hope you make it back one day! Posted by: Wickie of stumps 12:46pm today

I agree with Daniel of Brisbane on both counts. Bingle(Clark) comes across as a big head and CA let Symonds down massively in their handling of the 'monkeygate' affair. He has not been the same since, obviously still carrying baggage from that disgraceful incident.

Pup is becoming a bit of a common theme in these issues.

The obvious one between him and Roy.

The fact that Katich almost belted him after a great Test win.

The way Clarke didn't defend Ponting following the Indian and home Saffer Series, and actually made it look like Punter had made a lot of stuff-ups - when it turned out the selectors had over-ruled Ponting, and Kato can't bowl because of his fucked back.


I dunno, I used to like Pup, but of late, there are too many incidents with him at the centre to not be concerned.

Bingle has to be a factor; you'd think. Everything you see or hear about her, she very unintelligent, and the entire Fevola thing.... just a huge worry.

Pup has gone from a lock as our next Captain, to somebody who seems to be a fracturing personality within the team.

[PowerKat]

I don't like Clarke either - never have

he's a poofy little tosser with his head up his own arse, imo

[Curtis Stone]

My comments asking why Boonie, Marsh, Walters etc are considered legends, yet Symonds get's reamed over a couple of beers.

Today's cricketers arent going to earn too much on the corporate lunch speaking tours. People are going to fall asleep in their soup hearing whacky stories about how the team did pilates, went to bed early, then caught up with their wives and kids the next day who flew in specially so that they wont be traumatised.

[BobsCousin]

No need to..these fuckwits are gettng paid millions to hit a red ball and stand around for a whole day cracking jokes.

They won't need to do the sportsman night like cricketers of the past.

Ok true story regarding M Clarke.

A few years ago i was working for this studio that designed and built the BackYard Cricket game. We had Clarke, Symonds, Hussey and Hayden.

We finished the game and it was ready to launch on the friday before the test..then we got a directive by CA to change the way Clarke looks and make him look more handsome and not as cartoonish and silly as he was made out to be. Clarke had major concerns about it becasue image is his biggest asset and he is nothing but a marketing hoe.

So we had to change every element of the game, change the promo work, make our flash developers work 13 hours straight and delay the launch of the game - becasue poor Micheal Clarke didn't like it.

Did anyone notice that he started shaving his head around this period as well..no more blonde tips etc.

The guy seriously loves himself and is not liked by much as i was told. He is the main reason wags are allowed on tour and there were also rumours that he would rather spend the day shopping with the wags than spending it with the boys.

He is only being groomed as our next captain due to his willingness to hoe himself for the corporate $$$ and CA can see this. He is not a leader of men and to be captain you need to command the respect of all the team..m clarke doesn't come across as someone that is well respected.

[Stroker]

as much as he sounds like a fag he has been a very good batsman for the last couple of years.

[boof]

Anyone can play cricket sober, but Boony is a legend because he made a century whilst hungover, square leg ralf and all.

meeting boonie was one of the biggest let downs of my childhood, complete c unt.

but then again considering his rep as a blokes bloke if he did anything less than tell me to get fucked it'd probably be soft and out of character.

so I still love him.

Boonie was always a well known cunt. I reckon he would have told a few kids to fuck off over the years. My uncle played a couple of games for Tas in the 80's. Never got any full explanations, just told he was hardcore and best to be avoided.

[BobsCousin]

You could tell in his voice during the interview on tonights news that there is bad blood there. I really hope that email is true and symo fucked bingle and even had group sext with her.

If it is all over bingle he should hang his head in shame. He is going out with a shire slut..a girl who was fucked by half the bra boys and is known as a shire slurry.

The guy thinks he is going out with some hot international model with the brains and charisma. She is nothing but a buck tooth bimbo and a bore. It makes me angry that shitheads like this are contantly rewarded these days for being i dunno stupid.

[Kingy]

[BobsCousin]

Nah pup.

Roy looked well over it and didn't show any emotion to suggest he was dissapointed.

I too would be let down if the organisation i was representing bowed to a racist and bullish board like CA did with him last year. he has every reason to be let down by CA and i don't blame him for not giving a fuck no more.

How much more robotic are players going to become in the near future in all codes? Sure i don't con done behaviour like in the NRL but heck even in AFL players are coached to say the same things over and over again and yet we're lapping it up. Everythings become way to corporate and thus becoming sterile. Even society in general has become so homogenised. The reason i mention corporate is becasue i have seen first hand small fun companies turn into shitholes as soon as a take over by a major multi national happens and then everyone is expected to toe the corporate line.

CA is nothing but a corporation these days and their main reason for operating is revenue.

Awesome, he can bowl his 4 overs, have a breakdown/injury and go on extended leave for 5 months.

[dmc333]

Yeah I wouldn't see it as a loss.

Extra scrutiny and being forced to hang around with a number of wankers you don't like.

Still make fat stacks playing IPL for 2 months, where Clarke will never venture.

[Rocky Balboa]

What a joke, Tait is pathetic!!

It will not matter though - apparently he went to sign the contract, got half through and needed a spell, came back to finish it and was significantly slower. Broke down before he could finish it and has now been replaced by Bruce Reid. They figure he will be more durable.

[thegrach]

Ahh Rocky, your witty observations are as accurate as your left hook.

Just tore up his contract officially.

What a stupid saying that is.

[Penovic]

Simmo must have been bored out of his fucking mind touring with those fembots.

[Hugh Jorgen]

Yeah I can't see Symo being too worried about his CA contract, when he can still get paid a lazy couple of mill to slog a few sixes every year at the IPL.
