Andrew Symonds: Innocent victim in pub fight Andrew Symonds has not been dropped by Cricket Australia after an investigation found him to be the innocent victim in his widley-reported pub-fight in Brisbane on Sunday night. Cricket Australia chief executive James Sutherland and Australian captain Ricky Ponting met with Symonds on Tuesday evening to discuss the incident, which took place at notorious nightspot, the Normanby Hotel.

Sutherland is believed to have accepted Symond's version of events, with the all-rounder maintaining he was te innocent victim of an attack at the hands of a member of the public.

Symonds and Cricket Australia will front the media on Wednesday afternoon - return here for details later today.

  • No, dont get rid of someone because they tell someone in a pub to go away, slos dont get rid of someone because chris watts doesnt like their hair.

  • Andrew Symonds is a guy with a personality not taylored to the off field demands of top level sport these days and he needs to be treated as such and given some latitude. While most of us would have simply humoured the guy and got him out of there that isn't the type of person he is. CA needs to take some of the blame for not recognising this and helping him with that more.

  • this guy, can not handle the status of "celebrity". He likes the money and the status of being in the Australian cricket team. Being in the public eye is all part of that. How easy is it, to smile for a camera shot and shake the hand of a fan. The fan might have been drunk, an idiot..whatever, all the more reason to stay calm and keep the situation netural. GET RID OF SYMONDS ASAP!!
