A Plea to Symonds

GODDAMMIT ANDREW SYMONDS WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!?

Do you have a drinking problem? Is that it? Do you need help? Are you depressed? Bored? Lacking motivation? What? WHAT?

TELL ME WHAT IS IT!? What is so wrong that you just have to piss your talent away by CONSTANTLY STUFFING UP!!


WHY!!!!!!

Why bother doing all that work to get the attention of the selectors when you're willing risk it all because you can't be bothered showing up to a meeting, you'd prefer to have a drink than stick to curfew, and you don't mind having a public rant and rave over fellow players and airing out your dirty laundry.

You were once a favourite Symonds, and now you're just a douche. It breaks my heart to see they amount of players that have been demoted to playing state level because Cricket Australia believes that you derserve one chance after another. And of course, you just throw it away time and time again.

What is it? Tell us what it is!? Do you even want to play cricket anymore? What's the problem!?

Maybe there really isn't a problem. Maybe you're really just the arrogant disrespectful jerk-off you make yourself out to be. Maybe believing in you is truly a waste of time and despite all the great things you've achieved for your country should be overlooked all the same and the privilege of playing for Australia should go to someone who actually wants to be there.

Whatever it is, I hope you sort it out Symonds, not only for the good of the game, but for you own good as well. There's a little part of me who still believes that you're something special, and longs to see those days again.
