Andrew Symonds in trouble over his comments in ‘McCullum and Hayden’

Australian all-rounder Andrew Symonds is at it again. The bad boy of Australian cricket has landed himself into a soup again for his outrageous comments he made live on air on radio station network ‘Triple M’. Symonds went on ranting some ridiculous things about Kiwi cricketer and wicket-keeper Brendon McCullum after New South Wales signed him at the expense of a local player for the KFC Big Bash Twenty20 final against Victoria.

Symonds has attracted wrath of the media, public and attention of Cricket Australia after he had this to say about NSW signing McCullum, “They’re trying to use him (McCullum) as the out because he’s a Kiwi. Yep, we love to hate them, but he’s the lump of s…, sorry, lump of cow dirt, that people are thinking of, it doesn’t matter about McCullum, mate, he could have been Irish, he still would have got it. It’s not his fault; he’s doing his job and trying to earn a wage. But what happened here is an injustice. Daniel Smith, his opposite number was going to miss out. But they said this morning that Daniel Smith is going to play, but at the end of day somebody is still going to miss out,”

Symonds crossed the limit when he made a ‘supposedly’ funny comment on Matt Hayden’s cooking, Symonds said, “He takes a side glance at Hayden’s wife to help the meal go down well.”

Cricket Australia acting Chief Michael Brown has asked for a tape of the recording of the show. Symonds might face tough action for his insensitive comments and might be dropped from the squad going to South Africa next month. Symonds has had a turbulent 12 months inclusive of the Sydney Test fiasco, being missing from a meeting on account of a ‘fishing trip’ and brawl in a pub.
