Andrew Symonds will do anything to get out of playing against Bangladesh.
Even finding a good night out in Cardiff once.
Now he has gone fishing.
“Me don’t need no teem meetings for Bangladesh.
Me Roy.
Me beat anyone with my bare hands.
Hand me a beer boy.”
Just how seriously does Australia take Bangladesh?
Cricket Australia forgot when the Olympics were (supposedly), and cancelled the test tour because the Olympics took us all by surprise.
Ricky has a wrist thing.
Hayden couldn’t get a direct flight to Darwin.
Roy is a drunkard fisherman.
And Brett Lee got rid of the missus.
The test series was quite obviously canned because the main players wanted a break.
Cricket Australia couldn’t find a reason to cancel the one dayers, but the top liners just haven’t turned up.
If this was the IPL though, I wonder if these 4 would be able to overcome there various reasons for missing this series to soldier on…
