The latest Andrew Symonds controversy is starting to fade but Robert Craddock, writing in the Courier-Mail, says the scars will linger for many years.
Symonds is understood to be in a very bad head space and so are the playing group in England who started the push to sack him. They are uneasy because they know, cricketing-wise, they have handed down a life sentence. They know they were right, but it is still a heavy burden and it's a small wonder some of them have had trouble sleeping since and Australia have gone belly-up in their first World Twenty20 match against the West Indies.
