ALLEGEDLY....

After the Aussie Shield Final the Bushrangers and Bulls were having a beer.

Young Vic player was chatting with Andrew Symonds who'd had plenty to drink.

He asked what Lara Bingle was like.

Symonds said that he was b0nking her when he was in the UK and introduced
her to his roomy, Michael Clark so they could "double team."

The 3-some relationship went on for some weeks until Clark said "she's
mine."

What happened in Darwin, when Symonds went AWOL was that he was again very
p1ssed - and trash-talking Bingle to other team-mates.

Clark apparently went nuts.

They'd been very close friends but whenSymonds was told he was out of line
he said "f-k you" and went fishing.

Most Aussie players backed Clarkcos he'd decided to marry Bingle and they'd
already bought a $5.5 million house in Sydney.

However, insiders know what a tart Bingle really is........remember the
Fevola incident?!

Big friction over Lara contributed to crap team performance in Australia v's
South Africa.

Clark as next Australian Captain= plenty of baggage.

Theory is that Symonds is p1ssed off and once his career is over he'll spill
the beans to the press for money.

Believe it ......or not?!!!

I have also heard rumours along those lines, also that (allegedly) Symonds and Bingle were having it off behind Clarke's back reasonably recently, and this boiled over after the Sydney Test.

Allegedly.

And isn't the roommate double-team just the best way to meet your future wife...

Where the bloody hell are you?

Allegedly.

The Symonds situation always had something screaming "cover up" about it.

Is Michael Clarke perhaps the next Kim Hughes - I just finished Golden Boy and it was a great read. The author tries to tip a bucket on Marsh and Lillee, and to an extent the Chappells, but to me its really about the errors made by the ACB (as it then was) back in the day.

After reading the book, I will say that Hughes was better batsman - if flighty - than I give him credit for being, but not a captain, and whats more, the case was never made that he improved his captaincy skills over time, or even had the capacity to. Its a tragedy really, and behind much of the Australian cricket collapse of 1984 - 1988 (notwithstanding the CWC win in 1987).

I reckon this is BS.

I think symonds form slump (both mental and cricketing) is primarily due to the $1m or so he has lost via his involvement with storm financial and his injuries.
