Explosive and electric Australian all-rounder whose fierce hitting, reliable outfield catching and versatile bowling made him a crowd favourite and match-winner in all formats.
Andrew Symonds was a devastating all-round cricketer who combined explosive batting, handy medium-pace bowling, and exceptional fielding. One of the finest fielders of his era, he was equally dangerous in all three formats. His muscular hitting, exemplified by a famous 143 against Pakistan in the 2003 World Cup, made him one of Australia's most match-winning one-day players.
