Couldn’t be held by a better bloke!
It’s really not a rumour that Symonds being racially vilified dramatically and detrimentally affected him.
Lol. Nice try.
Symonds didn’t help himself with all his binge drinking
To put blame on the guy not even directly involved with the incident, belongs in the hot takes thread not the cricket thread imo

You’re putting too much mayo on what I’m saying.
Tendulkar lied.
He could have chosen not to, but he didn’t.
That hurt Symonds.
Tendulkar being brave and doing the opposite could…could have seen a very different outcome.
A better outcome.

I don’t have an issue with what your saying, everyone is entitled to their opinion on that complete cluster of a situation(I have my own thoughts on it, which i won’t get into)
I just think it belongs in the hot takes thread, not the cricket thread

Oh, I’m done talking to you.
It started because Saucy hates solar panels.
I don’t even understand how the whole solar panel thing works, but that’s probably more of a question for the stupid question thread

Just be more careful in future. 
We’re done for the summer.
You have to question Marshs spot now, he can’t make a run is not an all rounder.
They play a all rounder for these circumstances and he is the one that really didn’t pull his weight (not counting the guy that ticked Hazelwood off as fit)

I would just, as a thought experiment, invite you to imagine a world where Tendulkar said, ‘yes, Harbajhan called him a monkey. I’m sorry he did that, and I’d like to apologise to Andrew for the behaviour of some parts of the Indian crowd.’
Tendulkar’s racism contributed to Symonds suicide!? That’s the equivalent of saying, ’ The pebble I skipped at the beach contributed to a tsunami.’
Absolutely outrageous comment.

The aussies ■■■■■■ this test up royally!
It absolutely would be.
If that’s what I said.
Smith had a moment, morally, where he should have stood up.
Tendulkar did, too.
It doesn’t make either of them lesser batsmen.
With Josh pining his calf, Marsh has bowled 2 overs meaning Starc and Cummins have bowled 20 plus each. There may be consequences of this workload later in the series. Cannot see how Marsh possibly plays in Melbourne if the selectors are thinking clearly. Marsh cannot bowl due to injury and his batting is way off.

Cricket Australia hurt Symonds during the whole Monkey Gate saga by bowing down to the BCCI. That’s what actually hurt him.

Oh, I absolutely agree.
But are you saying CA contributed to his suicide?
That’s an ‘absolutely outrageous’ thing to say.
If you said that.
