www.centrebet.com.au – Andrew Symonds has not only made the cricket news this week, he has almost single handedly been the news in the wake of his recent inclusion in Australia’s test squad ahead of all-rounder Shane Watson and off-spinner Jason Kresja.

Just days after Symonds appeared on Channel 9 pleading for understanding about a stress related problem and informing the public that he did in fact have a drinking problem, Symonds has again landed himself in hot water during drinking session at the Normanby Hotel in Brisbane.

It is alleged that Symonds was approached by a drunken fan who attempted to hug Symonds and have his photo taken with the star cricketer.

When Symonds was not accommodating (as his reputation will dictate) the fan became irate and a minor scuffle ensued while the bouncers attempted to eject the unruly patron (who is more than likely no longer a fan of Andrew Symonds).

Normanby Hotel is a popular watering hole for quite a few sports stars and manager Mark Lassman was quick to jump to Symonds defense.

He stated that it was not uncommon for star struck (albeit intoxicated) fans to accost their idols in what they believe to be a friendly manner, but may be perceived differently by the object of their affection.

He also said that Symonds had done nothing wrong, had consumed ‘a few light beers’ and dealt with the situation as well as anybody in the same situation would have.

Regardless of his innocence, Cricket Australia stated that in no uncertain terms were they fed up with Symonds nose for trouble and would not hesitate to tear up his million dollar contract if they found he was the subject of any wrongdoing on the night.

Their investigations continue.
