Queensland Cricket has given a clean chit to Andrew Symonds on the Brisbane bar incident,saying the all-rounder did nothing which was unacceptable.

Media reports had alleged that Symonds was shown the door of the bar when he accidentally broke a glass,was stumbling and calling out boisterously to friends.

QC chief executive Graham Dixon said they found nothing wrong on part of Symonds. 8220;Based on our inquiries and information we have received,there was nothing to indicate that what took place was outside of acceptable team boundaries,8221; Dixon said in a statement.

8220;The players were out of cricket hours,were in a social group with their partners and conducted themselves responsibly,8221; he added.

Bulls skipper Chris Simpson,who was also at the bar celebrating the end of the Sheffield Shield season,also backed Symonds.

8220;As far as I am concerned,we were responsible across the evening. We were enjoying ourselves as a group and when management politely approached us to ask us to finish up,we did so. Reports that Andrew broke a glass are wrong and personally I don8217;t consider that he was loud and boisterous,8221; Simpson said.
