<p>Missing the meeting, while grist-for-the-pisstake, is probably a symptom of what the medical profession calls magnuscaputitis, or what the rest of us call big'eaddedness.</p>

<p>Associates say Symonds has not dealt well with his sudden rise to prominence in the Test arena, which made him the team's poster boy in all three formats of the game. His $1.47 million Indian Premier League contract with Hyderabad also brought with it huge demands for his time.</p>Tony T commented on 'DEJA ROY'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef010535e863bb970b2008-09-02T02:33:30Z2008-11-12T05:03:33ZTony Thttp://aftergrogblog.blogs.com/agb/"Personality" is a lot like "character": a little bit goes a long way, a lot bit goes a little way.<p>"Personality" is a lot like "character": a little bit goes a long way, a lot bit goes a little way.</p>nick commented on 'DEJA ROY'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef010535eeddb2970c2008-09-02T02:12:26Z2008-11-12T13:01:25ZnickI think the main issue (which Leaping Larry L alludes to) is not Roy's missing a meeting, but his propensity...<p>I think the main issue (which Leaping Larry L alludes to) is not Roy's missing a meeting, but his propensity for getting 'double-pithed'.</p>

<p>"This is where the cricketing authorities have got it wrong about Andrew Symonds.</p>
<p>Before the Australians' one-day match with Bangladesh in Darwin, Symonds ditched a team meeting to go fishing and they kicked him out of the side. Don't these people realise that the minute this story came out, he became a hero to millions? Who WOULDN'T want to ditch a meeting and go fishing? Or ski-boarding down Mount Everest for that matter.</p>
<p>Actually, a spirited knitting bee in a laundromat during a heatwave sounds like a decent alternative. Symonds should properly be hailed as an audacious original thinker, who just did what everyone else (on the planet, not just the cricket team) desperately wanted to do, but didn't have the proverbial sinkers. Not only should they make him captain, they should probably set up an entire religion around him."</p>
<p>A MEETING about a game against the Bangers, or fishing in the NT...<br />
I know where I am going!</p>

Nick, Symonds is the best throwing spinner in the Aussie team on his day.<br />
Bangla Desh bowled pretty well in the bits I saw, but I got a sandwich and missed their batting display.<br />
The South African Rugby Union team was obviously trying to beat Bangla Desh's batting score against Australia, but fell just short.</p>nick commented on 'DEJA ROY'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef010535ee532e970c2008-08-30T13:14:34Z2008-11-12T06:11:49ZnickGood to see Huss has pulled his head in.
