A deadly trip occurred just months after the deaths of fellow Australian Shane Warne and Rod Marsh, who all died in heart complications.
The large-hitting Symonds was well known not only for his formidable approach to the game but additionally for his easygoing personality.
Famed for his swashbuckling batting exhibitions, he was a splendid all-rounder who bowled off-spin and medium pace equally well.
“Everyone had him earmarked as a white ball player,” former team mate Mark Taylor said. He wanted to prove to the world he could play test cricket and he did that way.
