Sadly Andrew Symonds has a problem with impulse control and behaviour under the influence of alcohol. He is certainly not alone there but he has a position of privilege and reverence in our society and his wealth and fame are due to society's approval of his cricket skills. CA as his employer rightly expect his life skills to match his cricket skills. Without access to all the facts I respect CA's right to bring him into line. If there are no consequences for your actions in life, that is not a society with a good future. I wish him well and hope we have not seen the last of his rare talent.
