Brisbane, Jan. 27 : Queensland cricket team coach Trevor Barsby has told troubled all-rounder Andrew Symonds that all support mechanisms are in place to help him deal with his problems, but ultimately, it was up to him to take charge of his life.

"He is a big boy, so, he must realize that he has to take control of his own destiny. He has the full support of current and former players - and a direct line to some counsellors - but at the end of the day the buck stops with him," the Daily Telegraph quoted Barsby, as saying.
