PAUL NEWMAN: Mott has been in a close battle with England's interim coach for the new specialist limited-overs role but on Monday night it seemed certain Key would plump for the Australian.

Mahmood and Fisher are the latest England fast-bowlers to be affected by injury, joining a list that also includes Mark Wood, Jofra Archer, Olly Stone and Chris Woakes.

Shane Warne and Andrew Symonds were going to coach together in England, before fate cruelly intervened as they both lost their lives within two months.

Andrew Symonds' sister Louise struggled to hold back the tears as she spoke with Daily Mail Australia about her brother's shock death near Townsville, Queensland.

Andrew Symonds once offered to take a pay cut from Cricket Australia so he could spend more time fishing, and less corporate appearances.

Andrew Symonds' loyal blue heelers refused to leave the cricketers' side after his car left the road and rolled about 10.30pm on Saturday in Hervey Range, 50km west of Townsville.

Symonds (pictured with his fellow commentator Kath Loughnan) sent a funny text to his boss at Fox Sports just a couple of hours before the accident that took his life.

Their relationship was broken and never mended. But that hasn't stopped former Aussie skipper Michael Clarke sharing a number of touching tributes and anecdotes to Andrew Symonds.

Andrew Symonds' sister has penned a heartbreaking letter and left it at the site where her brother crashed his car on Saturday. 

Jimmy Anderson warmed up for the first Test against New Zealand next month by bowling his former England captain Joe Root for just four in the Roses match at Headingley.

Australian cricket great Andrew Symonds - equal parts captivating, aggressive all-rounder and controversy magnet - has died aged 46.
