I awoke to the very sad news of Andrew Symonds' death.

"Two-time World Cup winner and much-loved member of Australian cricket tragically killed in a single-car crash outside Townsville.

World cricket is mourning the shock loss of another Australian great after Test star and two-time World Cup winner Andrew Symonds was killed in a car crash in Queensland.

The 46-year-old "cult figure" was involved in a single-vehicle accident late on Saturday. He is survived by wife Laura and young children Chloe and Billy."

Former teammate and Fox Cricket colleague Adam Gilchrist led the tributes for the man affectionately known as ‘Roy’.

“Think of your most loyal, fun, loving friend who would do anything for you. That’s Roy,” Gilchrist tweeted.

“This really hurts,” he added, while Michael Vaughan wrote: “Simmo .. This doesn’t feel real.”

“Horrendous news to wake up to,” tweeted Jason Gillepsie. “Utterly devastated.

“We are all gonna miss you mate.”

Cricket Australia chair Lachlan Henderson said: "Australian cricket has lost another of its very best. Andrew was a generational talent who was instrumental in Australia's success at World Cups and as part of Queensland's rich cricket history.

"He was a cult figure to many who was treasured by his fans and friends.

"On behalf of Australian cricket our deepest sympathies are with Andrew's family, team-mates, and friends."
