Andrew Symonds has gone from the glare of the spotlight to the anonymity of farming life in North Queensland, writes Peter Hanlon in the Sydney Morning Herald. Where the game that can seem like his cursed gift takes Symonds next will be decided at next month's IPL auction.
Even at 35, and with only a handful of Twenty20 games for Surrey this year to showcase his wares, he will surely be snapped up. And so continues the conundrum that has dogged him all along - his unique talent guarantees he is in demand, and while it seems he'd be just as happy doing something else, a man can't make the big bucks dangling a rod in the water.
