MELBOURNE : Former Australia all-rounder Andrew Symonds was remembered as a rare cricket talent and "mischievous character" at a public memorial in the north Queensland city of Townsville on Friday.
Andrew Symonds was remembered as a supremely talented cricketer with "a pure heart" at a memorial service on Friday for the Australian former all-rounder who died aged 46. Symonds was killed in a single-vehicle accident in northern Queensland earlier this month, leaving Australian cricket reeling once more following the recent and unexpected deaths of greats Shane Warne and Rod Marsh. Family, friends, fans and former teammates gathered to celebrate his life at a public memorial service at a stadium in the coastal city of Townsville, where he lived. Former cricketers Ricky Ponting, Allan Border, Adam Gilchrist, Darren Lehmann and Ian Healy turned out for the man affectionately known as 'Roy'. It followed a private funeral where a cricket bat, fishing rod, crab pot and a number of hats were placed alongside the timber coffin, local media reported.
Justin Langer has criticised the politics at Cricket Australia (CA), four months after he resigned from his role as national team coach.
David Warner had a great Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 for Delhi Capitals. The Australian opener scored 432 in 12 games at an average of 48.00. His strike-rate was 150.52 as he ended up being the top-scorer for his franchise. He also scored five half-centuries with his highest score being a 92*. His franchise could not qualify for the playoffs but Warner's performance was lauded by all. However, Warner had a huge weight of expectation from his daughters, who were present in India during this edition of the franchise cricket league.
Justin Langer has opened up on the “bulls*** politics” that led to an acrimonious exit with Australia although he refused to countenance working for England.
Justin Langer has blamed "politics" for contributing to his exit as Australian cricket coach despite guiding the team to an Ashes thrashing of England and the Twenty20 World Cup crown.The 51-year-old walked away from the job in February after failing to secure the public support of key players and following acrimonious contract talks with governing body Cricket Australia (CA).He was unhappy at being offered only a six-month extension despite steering Australia to a 4-0 Ashes victory at the start of the year and the T20 title in the United Arab Emirates in 2021.Australian cricket greats including Ricky Ponting, Steve Waugh and the late Shane Warne jumped to his defence, taking umbrage at the way he was being treated.But in the run-up to his departure disgruntled players had complained anonymously to Australian media about his intense coaching style.In his first comments since, a still-bristling Langer detailed a heated conversation with CA's then-interim chairman Richard Freudenstein the day after he quit.
