Symonds hurt in freak incident

BRISBANE, MARCH 17. Allrounder Andrew Symonds may have to withdraw from Australia's one-day cricket tour of India after injuring his shoulder while packing his bags prior to the departure on Saturday.

Symonds faces a fitness test on Monday to determine whether the shoulder problem will keep him out of the five-match series, which begins next Sunday.

And in another off-pitch drama, New South Wales fast bowler Nathan Bracken missed the flight to Mumbai after losing his travel documents.

Officials were unable to get a replacement passport and visa in time for Bracken to catch the flight with one-day teammates, Darren Lehmann, Michael Bevan and Ian Harvey.
