Mamu Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Queensland Cricket has denied allrounder Andrew Symonds engaged in unacceptable behaviour before being asked to leave a Brisbane bar on Sunday night. QC chief executive Graham Dixon took issue with reports Symonds was shown the door at New Farm's Watt Bar after drinking with his girlfriend and Bulls teammates. "Based on our inquiries today and information we have received, there was nothing to indicate that what took place was outside of acceptable team boundaries," Dixon said in a statement yesterday. "The players were out of cricket hours, were in a social group with their partners and conducted themselves responsibly." Brisbane afternoon newspaper mX alleged the group was asked to leave at about 9pm after Symonds accidentally broke a glass and was stumbling and calling out boisterously to his friends. But Bulls skipper Chris Simpson, who was at the bar celebrating the end of the Sheffield Shield season, denied Symonds' behaviour was a problem.

"It was a few players and their partners and a chance to have a social catch-up after the season. "We were enjoying ourselves as a group and when management politely approached us to ask us to finish up, we did so. We left without incident and went home. "Reports that Andrew broke a glass are wrong and personally I don't consider that he was loud and boisterous. "If management asked us to leave, then they are well within their rights to ask that of any patron. I've got no issue with that." It's unclear how the incident is being viewed by Cricket Australia, which delivered a "last chance" warning to Symonds after his last misdemeanour in January. While recovering from knee surgery, he copped a A$4000 ($5000) fine for calling New Zealand wicketkeeper Brendon McCullum a "lump of ****" in a radio interview while under the influence of alcohol. Symonds has since been undergoing a second period of counselling, continuing a rehabilitation process which started after the "gone fishing' affair in late August which saw him sent home from a one-day series in Darwin. The 33-year-old was recalled to the Test team in November. - AAP His love affair with the booze continues.

Sachinism Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Good talent, but what a waste Jesse Ryder should take a look at this guy and change his ways Link to comment
Macj Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Ive been watching Symonds and Harbhajan for quite some time now, in truth they seem to have very similar personalities. Respect for authority is lacking in both of them. Harbhajans antics sometimes makes me cringe. Link to comment

Jesssuz ? what the hell do you go to bar for? to sit and stare at the cute bar tending girls ? Not sure what's wrong with going to a bar and drinking alcohol.
