Andrew Symonds Died in Car Accident
Andrew Symonds’ career on the world stage was close to 11 years. After making his first appearance for Australia in a global competition in 1998, Symonds participated in just 28 test matches for the illustrious Australian national team. However, he was able to make a substantial addition to the Australian One-Day International (ODI) team because he went on to play a total of 198 ODI games for the country. During that time, he scored more than 5000 runs.
His career was also hampered by problems, with the “Monkey Gate” affair being the most prominent of these incidents. Symonds engaged in verbal volleys with Harbhajan Singh, the veteran Indian off-spinner, during the Border-Gavaskar trophy match during India’s visit to Australia in 2007-08. The match was for the Border-Gavaskar trophy. The Indian team has leveled allegations of misconduct against Symonds.
Throughout his playing career, Andrew Symonds saw his fair share of glory and controversy, but no one can ignore the fact that he was one of the most promising all-rounders on one of the finest cricketing teams ever graced the sport.

“At times, he got in trouble for not attending to training or maybe having a few too many beers but that was the way he lived his life and the way he wanted to play his cricket, too,” said the coach. “But that was how he wanted to play his cricket also.”
The demise of Symonds came when the sport of Australian cricket was still trying to come to terms with the deaths of all-time greats Rod Marsh and Shane Warne, both of whom passed away in March. The Queensland Police have said that an investigation has begun into the collision.
“Early information suggests, just after 11 pm, the automobile was being driven on Hervey Range Road, near Alice River Bridge when it off the roadway and rolled,” the police statement added. “Early information indicates” means “information that is not yet fully verified.”
However, despite the efforts of emergency personnel, the driver and only occupant, who was 46 years old, could not be saved from his injuries and passed away. The Forensic Crash Unit is conducting the investigation.”
