RIP Andrew Symonds

[Brendan_B]

I just heard news that Andrew ‘Roy’ Symonds has passed away last night. Reports say a single car crash outside of Townsville.

Great player, very entertaining, brilliant in the field, worth 30 runs an innings in the field alone. I was at the Gabba when he levelled that pitch invader.

I will always be disappointed with how CA handled his allegations of racism.

Anyway, another one gone too soon. RIP Roy.

Very, very sad. A laconic Aussie who gave it his all. Always felt he was thrown under the bus by CA. Was coming in to his own as a commentator and didn’t talk bullshit. A very sad loss.

I loved the way he played game - a true character and was also lovely with the kids

Another one way too young and from the era I loved to watch - sad news

Sad news yet again in the cricket world this year.
We need more true characters in the game.
