This is super shit news. RIP Andrew Symonds - what terrible news for his whanau and friends. Bro could swing a mean bat and was electric in the field.

Man that's awful news. Was such an exciting player to watch, boy he could hit it a long way. RIP.

Absolutely gutted by this. Never wanted to miss Symonds batting and thr Austrlian tram was a more exciting side for him being in it. He had a larakin streak to him, but boy he could deliver. Then as a commentator he was awesome to listen to. Above all that, he seemed a really cool dad and I feel hugely for his family.

Just hours before the tragic accident the 46-year-old sent a text to Fox Sports Executive Director Steve Crawley.
The message had a screenshot of a news story about NFL star Tom Brady’s new $540 million dollar broadcast deal with Fox in the US.
And the text read “Crawls … we need to talk.”

WTF!!! We were just sipping on a beer celebrating Warnie’s life and enjoying each other’s company💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
Our great friendship and respect for each other started the very first minute we met in battle. You were such a competitor doing any and everything for your team.
I had the greatest respect for you Roy!!!
You also made friendship so easy, I loved the spontaneous phone calls and messages. You reached out just yesterday “How are you champ” … “All good Mr Symonds … How things with you”
Well all isn’t good anymore I will miss you and I’m devastated.
You were a champion bloke and the cricket world will miss you. We have lost another great human being.
Condolences to Andrew’s family and friends.
