NZ papers verify McCullum’s s…ness
I’ve been worried since I posted on Symonds’ drunken radio faux pas that perhaps I was making something out of nothing. The Aussie papers and Cricinfo have been reporting Symonds as calling McCullum a “lump of s…” But those dots could mean any number of things. Perhaps he had called him a “lump of sugar” or a “lump of stilton”, with me unfairly jumping to conclusions.
But Stuff and the Herald, not afraid to call a lump of shit a lump of shit (or of triggering sensitive content filters), have confirmed the worst.

Perhaps we have all got it wrong and he was called a “lump of Symonds”…whether that is an insult or a compliment is up to the individual.
“They’re trying to use him as the out because he’s a Kiwi. Yep, we love to hate them, but he’s the lump of Symonds, sorry, lump of cow dirt, that people are thinking of.”
