It simply feels like he’ll be adore from every angle: Chloe Symonds, Symond’s Daughter
“It just feels like he’ll be loved from every angle, that he’ll be loved by everyone. I know he didn’t like anything large, and it’s not a large grandstand, so he’d probably have liked that “According to ESPNcricinfo, Symonds’ 10-year-old daughter.
Will Symonds (eight years old) recalled spending hours with his father at Riverway Stadium’s nets.
“We had this tennis ball machine that he would feed balls to me… we would bat them all day. I miss everything about him and wish I could have said my goodbyes to him. (With the grandstand) I’ll never forget that; he’s always up there, gazing down on me.”
In August, Riverway Stadium held its first-ever international series between Australia and Zimbabwe. A memorial service for Symonds is held, with family members walking to the ground and placing his baggy green bat, Akubra hat, fishing rod, and crab pot at the wickets. During the first game of the series, Symonds’ son and daughter also brought beverages for the home team.
Barbara Symonds, Symonds’ mother, said the grandstand will serve to honor her son’s legacy. “He was just my son who enjoyed playing cricket. But knowing that he is adore by so many people makes you extremely proud “she stated.
