8216;Symonds doesn8217;t fit in evolving Australian team8217;

It8217;s part of his recovery process. Obviously,the Australian team environment no longer offers that. That is not having a go at Cricket Australia,it is just how the environment has evolved, he was quoted as saying by the 8216;Sydney Morning Herald.

In the last couple of years,Symonds has seen the retirement of his contemporaries like Adam Gilchrist and Matthew Hayden,who have been replaced by youngsters and with young blood has evolved a new way of socialising.

Symonds8217;s former Queensland teammate Jimmy Maher feels if the all-rounder is given the right environment he could still flourish.

It8217;s no surprise that he played so well in the IPL this year under the stewardship of Darren Lehmann and Adam Gilchrist, Maher said.

They are guys who work on the adage that you train hard and play hard and enjoy yourself. 8216;Boof8217; Lehmann has handled him exceptionally well. I dare say if guys like Matthew Hayden and Justin Langer and Gilchrist were on this trip,the latest incident wouldn8217;t have happened.

Now when he mentions having a beer some of the new generation look at him like he8217;s from another planet. They want to run off to their rooms to recover for next match, he said.
