Someone was saying that terrible things happen in threes, first Rod Marsh then Shane Warne now Andrew Symonds.
Very sad to hear of the death of Andrew Symonds. My thoughts are with his family and friends at this difficult time. RIP.
A very sad and tragic incident. Heartbreaking. You know a cricketer or any sportsperson for that matter is exceptionally good and well respected if they go on to be on the TV or radio commentary teams. Andrew Symonds has been one of these cricketers. That’s not to detract from the respect of other accomplished sportspersons after retirement.
Lovely tribute to Andrew Symonds from Mark Taylor on 9 this morning.
So sad to hear this news. Thinking of his family today.. RIP Roy you will me missed
Another great cricketer has gone too soon RIP Andrew
I Cannot believe Roy is gone from TV. Roy Has done some cricket commentary on 10 and was a larger than life character. May he Rest In Peace.
Another one gone far too soon… RIP Roy
