Partial Transcripts of Andrew Symonds Radio interview
Here is the transcript of what he said exactly on the air -
HG: Can I just go out on a limb here and say that this about McCullum being a
New Zealander in my view? I just can’t stand it. I just can’t … haven’t we got
enough people in Australia? The shaky isles, the land of the long white cloud. I’ve
never seen eye to eye with, and I don’t see why our, and I’m going to use a harsh
word here Andrew Symonds. I don’t see why our cricket, our one day of the year,
on this very weekend, when we support everything that’s great about Australia,
that it’s polluted by having a New Zealander involved.
Symonds: I think that’s what, mate. I think that’s exactly what people want us
to do. I think that’s what the hierarchy want us to do, to blame it on New Zealand.
Roy: Well I would blame McCullum in a sense that he could have said no
because I’m not Australian and we would have thought the world of him.
Symonds: Can I just finish there? Excuse me, I don’t want to butt in. But they
try to use him as the out, coz he’s a Kiwi yep? We love to hate them.
But he is the subject. He is the lump of sh*t, sorry, the lump of cow dirt that um,
that people are thinking of.
Now, we get away from that and the actual topic is about playing cricket and
getting yourself into a final.
HG: Thanks very much Andrew. Now two questions that I’ve always wanted to
ask you, and you can speak freely on these. Matthew Hayden’s cooking. Now it
gets a lot of raps but do you think it deserves the big raps?
Symonds: Um … I’ll tell you from actual personal experience. His cooking … I’ve
never been to his place and had a bad, I’ve never been to his place and had a good
place and had a good feed. I’ve always had an exceptional feed.
So um, mind you I have had the odd side glance at his wife which helps the meal
go down, you know, amply.
But he’s never served me a bad meal is my answer to your question.
