Symmo’s behaviour a disgrace: Waugh

  • Former Australia captain Steve Waugh lambasted Andrew Symonds for putting fishing ahead of a team meeting and questioned the all-rounder’s commitment to the baggy green cap.
  • Furious after Symonds went on a fishing trip ignoring a compulsory team meeting, Waugh said the team management did the right thing by sending him back.
  • "They’ve done the right thing by sending him home. There’s got to be consistency in the group and you’ve got to stand for something," Waugh was quoted as saying by the Sunday Telegraph.
  • "He’s got to have a good look at what he’s doing for sure. He’s got to re-assess where he’s at if he’s doing these things. It’s not the first time," the former captain said.
  • The all-rounder once invited a $3,000 fine for sleeping and missing the team bus during the West Indies tour. In 2005, he was fined and handed a two ODI ban after turning up drunk.
