NEW DELHI: "Think of your most loyal, fun, loving friend who would do anything for you. That's Roy." These words tweeted by Adam Gilchrist about Australian all-rounder Andrew Symonds, who died in a car crash late on Saturday, best expressed the sentiments of the cricketing world over the passing of a well-loved cricketer.
Gilchrist was joined by Symonds's other ICC World Cup 2003 squad mates -- fast bowler Jason Gillespie and opening batter Matthew Hayden -- who took to Twitter to express shock and dismay.
