Symonds starts today.
Am I alone in thinking Freddie losing the vice captainship is a good thing? I'm quite pleased really. I don't really care what he did but I don't think that one of the best all rounders in the world should have the added responsibilty of being captain/vice captain. He has enough on his plate playing. The incident is a great excuse to remove him from the position. Bit like Henry at Arsenal, I really don't want him to be captain, he was better playing his normal game, but you can't really take it away without it looking like a demotion and I guess he's not likely to surrender it as it could look like he can't cope. Thus, the perfect scenario is for the player to come across as being a bit of a jack the lad and strip him of it as punishment.
Can't see Henry doing something like that though
Beefy was the same.
