Symonds baffled by intrusion

MELBOURNE: Australian all rounder Andrew Symonds does not like heads peeping into his personal life and the flamboyant cricketer is quite baffled at the way trapperazis have started raiding lives of celebrities.
 
Symonds feels the increasing popularity of sports persons costs them their personal life as people get overboard in
garnering information about their off-field activities.

"Sport is not necessarily just sport any more. People like to know what sportsmen are doing when they're not playing sport. People want to know what goes on behind the man, I suppose, which to me I think is probably slightly rude, unless
that's what you want," Symonds said.

The Australian said he would not allow people rob him off his leisure time activities.

"I don't necessarily want people to know what I'm doing and who I'm doing it with in my spare time. I try not to let
that happen," he was quoted as saying in Sydney Morning Herald.

Symonds narrated an incident where prying camera eyes forced someone running huff and puff, which eventually
resulted in him getting slapped in utter confusion.

"Last year, I walked out of a nightspot and a bloke ran across the car park and slapped me in the face as we were
walking into a taxi. He had a bloke with a camera behind him,"
he said.
