sent home Symonds sent home for alcohol incident Alex Brown June 4, 2009 Andrew Symonds has been sent home from the ICC World Twenty20 for an "alcohol-related incident", throwing Australia's plans for the tournament into disarray. Ricky Ponting, the captain, and Cricket Australia chief executive James Sutherland are due to make an announcement in the next hour in regard to the controversial allrounder. Symonds was a notable absentee at Australia's training session at The Oval on Thursday, prompting speculation that he could be heading home. He has been involved in numerous off-field incidents in recent seasons, most notably the Darwin fishing saga in August 2008, during which he missed a team meeting ahead of the one-day series against Bangladesh, which prompted the team management to send him home from the series.

Symonds apologised, having admitted that alcohol was playing a big part in his life, and he subsequently stated that he was "entering the final chapter of his career".

Maybe these things should be put on bets. Stuffs like 1. Will Symonds stay away from controversy for the next one month? 2. Will Watson last an entire test series without getting injuired? 3. Where did Akhtar got his genital warts from? (Any random options will make that phunny:--D) 4. Who will make the next crappiest comment in PCB? (this cud be tricky:hmmm:)

I'm afraid this is the end for Symonds. Time to move on now, he's had his chances and he keeps blowing them unfortunately. We have Watson who can replace him, we just need to keep him fit!

Aussies just need to accept hes like that only and go on. He is useful and should be kept in the team. Maybe he will perform better when drunk :cantstop:
