The first thing that comes to my mind about Andrew Symonds is the altercation he had with Harbhajan Singh. While Harbhajan was bowling to Symonds, the former tried to sledge him by saying "Teri maa ki **** (your mom's ***)". Symonds, with zero knowledge in Hindi language misunderstood "maa ki" as "monkey". Being half-Caribbean, Symonds was extremely offended and he filed a complaint with the match referee for racial abuse. I am not sure what happened next, but I remember that Harbhajan refused to apologize for his boorish behavior.

Well, what can I say? That's typical Indian behavior. Sledding and trash-talking are actually good but to a certain extent. I believe trash-talking should not be personal at all. There was obviously some misunderstanding but ideally, I think that Harbhajan should have come ahead and cleared this thing. At least he should have come forward and cleared the thing about racism.

Being an Indian, I feel quite offended. Harbhajan Singh doesn't represent everyone in India. And in each and every country, you will find such type of people. And also, let's don't forget the fact that Australians are masters of sledging. Remember the famous verbal duel between Ramnaresh Sarwan and Glen McGrath? Without any provocation, McGrath sledged Sarwan, asking him: "How does Lara's *** taste like?".. Sarwan replied: "I don't know.. ask your wife". McGrath got in to a fit, and his wife was hospitalized with cancer at that time. But again, who started this?

Yes, that altercation was the headline of every cricket playing nation news channel. If I am correct it was known as the monkeygatescandal. If you do a google search with the same keyword you will find the story. In the end they both played for MI and everything was forgotten.

There is no doubt this was one off amazing matches in this world cup as after winning toss Pakistan decided to field and their start was very good with once Australia were 86 for 4 but as Symonds arrived he changes all in this game on ground first partnership with skipper Ponting and then Hogg and Harvey give him good company for his highest career score in ODI 143 here Pakistani bowlers also received few warnings from empire about their bowling as well. After having 310 runs on board, their bowlers were also on target and packed all Pakistani batting under 228 with the highest scorer was number nine batsman Wasim Akram 33. Harvey was hero for his team with the figure of 4/58.

This is a big lost for cricket and specially for CA as they are suffering badly in the last few weeks with the death of Shane Warne and now Symonds.

Symonds was very much criticised for being part of 2003 Australian WC squad and that innings shut mouth of all people who were criticising. Let's just hope that this is last incident where we loose a cricketer. Already we were in shock because of Shane warne death.

In that match against Pakistan in 2003 WC, Pakistan was in very good position till Symonds came in. The entire pace attack of Pakistan wasim, waqar and sohaib were helpless in front of him. I remember he is a good fielder also. He left cricket with good memories unlike Shane Warne.

That was obviously a great match and one of the great classics that is going to be remembered for a long time. We all know that Australia has always been one of the greatest cricketing teams in the whole world. So it is obvious that they have been producing some great players through the time and he was obviously one of them. Some unfortunate losses for Australian cricket in recent times.

Really shocking to hear the news and i was not expecting to hear this, a really bad year for Australian Cricket players as this is the third prominent player this year. When i heard about the news about the accident i was going through his old highlights which pops up and he was such an incredible fielder and could change matches with his batting and take the match away from the opponent single handedly.

Symonds was part of 2003 and 2007 Australian squad that won world cups. According to reports his car left the roadway and rolled. He died at the spot because of his injuries. RIP Roy, the world of cricket will never forget the entertainment you provided to cricket lovers.

Andrew Symonds was a legendary cricketer. At the same time, in my opinion, he did not fully realize his sports potential. The reason was his imperfect personal qualities.
He had the opportunity to achieve much better sports results.
In fact, his sports career ended in 2008. He had many disciplinary actions. He was also charged with alcohol abuse. However, no one tried to deny the fact that he is an excellent team cricketer. He was appreciated as an excellent versatile field player. He had an excellent reaction, high growth, excellent speed characteristics and high throwing accuracy.

I don't think he was disciplinary issues like Shane Warne. He was a much better human being then shane. He is known for his match winning innings. His stats specially in ODI are outstanding, in 198 ODIs he scored 5088 runs and picked 133 wikcets.

Former star Andrew Symonds is considered to be one of the most liked. Andrew Symonds' passing is devastating news. He was one of my favorites. He played in the fifth/6th position. The Australian Cricket team of Andrew Symonds and Mitchell Clarke enjoyed a great partnership. As well as being a great all-rounder, he was also a great fielder. No disciplinary issues were reported. Enjoyed every moment I faced him, totally admire him as a cricketer, especially considering where he is from. I pray his soul rest in peace.

Andrew Symonds was a great player and he was known for his match-winning performance. he was a really valuable player for Australia and his contribution can never be forgotten. He was the backbone of one-day international matches for Australia. he had a great career of 11 years. It is really sad to see a player die only at the age of 46.

That's the sad reality of life which we can't change, Symonds is no doubt a versatile player who introduced new techniques of fielding. He bowled both medium fast and leg spin. Lovely to watch him playing for Australia, appreciate his role as a cricketer.

No doubt he was the hard hitter of the ball and in the era we did not have many hitters who could throw the ball out of the ground on every other ball. I also remember his match against Pakistan where he scored almost 50 runs in the 2003 world cup and Pakistan lost the match. Had he not played that innings, Pakistan could have easily won the match.

He was the only cricketer I hated most whenever Australia played with India. An amazing and extraordinary journey ended in a tragic accident. May his soul rest in peace. This year has been bad for Australian cricket. Just a few month back they lost Shane Warne.

Another blow for Australians after they lost Shane Warne few weeks ago. He is one of best allrounder we have seen till date. Who can forget his innings of 143 not out against Pakistan in 2003 world cup. CA is going through a tough era, let's hope it ends soon.

I second with that - in Pakistan only one athlete participate in winter olympics. And there were 2 assistant with him, now you can realize how much interest Pakistani have in other games. Only a few people have interest in other sports. cricket is the game which can be played with least investment that is one of the reason kids play cricket and then they get interested in cricket.

You cannot compare with the amount of athletes send for winter Olympics as a benchmark because how often we have snow in these regions round the clock, only specific regions have snowfall during winter and you cannot expect athletes without opportunities. Hockey is a major sport they play and they had some legendary players and they are good at it.

Yes - they play hockey, but it is not well admired. How many hockey players would a kid in Pakistan be knowing? On the other hand Boys play cricket in every street in Pakistan.
But for hockey - it is not the same. There is a small segment of people who watch hockey matches and who understand the game.
