The other/ie yours (probably) and mine (certainly)/ie cricket fans pov
is of course that Symonds is an f***ing cheat!

There's a huge diff between not walking on close bat/pad or close to
ground catch decisions (Ump/3rd Ump are there for those, along with
run out and stumpings) and not walking on clear hit and catch
decisions.

As I said Symonds is an f***ing cheat and this Aussie cannot stand the
prick!!!

That international umps are SO BAD as to let him build up a decent
Test ave is a shame for the game.
(And for Mr ave 34 Katich to have a decent Test series is a shame for
the Windies!)
