Andrew Symonds' performances always changed the course of the game
Symonds was to that ridiculously talented Australian cricket team in the 2000s. The first is from an ODI in Melbourne vs West Indies in 2001. His victim was Laurie Williams, who tragically also died in a car crash, like Symonds did in Townsville, Queensland late on Saturday. Williams died in Jamaica in 2002, aged 33. Symonds was 46. In the video, Williams drives Nathan Bracken towards long-on and starts running. But Symonds swoops in from mid-wicket, stops the ball, spins while still parked on his buttocks, and coolly throws down the stumps at the striker's end. All this happens in about one-and-a-half seconds.
