Because they think this outbreak is the end of the world and NSW needs to suffer the same as Victoria did

It's like the #istandwithdan crowd are praying for a Sydney outbreak so they can justify their imprisonment as the only means to combat Covid.

 

[Marstermind]

I don't think so. There is some vision of them dining inside a restaurant in Chadstone which breaches the bio-security regulations.

An Indian fan pays their bill. Seriously? Four elite adult international sportsmen go out or dinner and between them the bill is only $118??? Two of them have a Diet Coke and I assume the other two had water, but the other mains are $18?? And at a restaurant that only gets a 3/5 on Zomato?? Why break a bio-sure bubble for a restaurant that's cheaper than room service??

Thats an interesting take.

Actually they are allowed to eat out at restaurants

The only possible breach was the original post claimed he got a hug from Pant...

It’s exactly what it is, if NSW can contain this outbreak without resorting to the extreme measures Victoria did it will kill them. It’s why they’re pretending it’s out of control in NSW with 5-10 cases and Victoria’s outbreak is entirely NSW fault but completely under control.

But if NSW went into lockdown suddenly they’d feel vindicated and be on the warpath attacking anyone who complained about Dan's mishandling of the crisis.

Surprising that Pant was eating anywhere other than KFC.

He looks like he's been eating Zinger Stackers for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Do we know what the protocols are??

This is an excerpt from the updated age article:

[The players have been isolated from the rest of the touring party as a "precaution" on the advice of the Indian and Australian medical teams, CA said in the

"This will include separating the group of players from the broader Indian and Australian squads when travelling and at the training venue," the CA statement said.

"Players will be permitted to train in accordance with the strict protocols that have been put in place to ensure the ongoing safety of all members of the Indian and Australian squads."

Players and staff from the Australia and India sides have strict conditions on their movement as part of measures to minimise the chances of the lucrative series being affected by any COVID-19 outbreak. They are allowed to eat out, but must be seated outdoors.

 

[Blue Arrow]

Rohit, Pant, Gill, Shaw, Saini placed in isolation as precaution

A video on Twitter seemed to show the players eating in an indoor restaurant in Melbourne.

Cricinfo has no idea what the protocols are either.

Only when you’re an elite athlete.

There has been a breach albeit very minor, timing couldn’t be worse with the new cases in vic and trying to QLD to allow the players to be exempt.

the players mentioned are now isolating. I don’t expect anything to come of this considering the team it involves.

Some talk on the morning news that the Indians are unhappy about going to Brisbane for the fourth Test.

Maybe trying to get some breaches to force the Queensland government to reject them and avoid the Gabba pitch

The fix is in.

India would rather two matches in Sydney and the people who run NSW, who all sit on the SCG Trust, are fine with that too.

And if they can give qld a whack on the way through, that’s a bonus.

I thought the protocols were that they were able dine at restaurants but not indoors.

you are correct, they have breached protocols albeit very minor. Also they’ve dined in at the biggest shopping centre in Victoria which would be a greater risk than just a small independent restaurant

It does seem pretty silly from these guys, but as you say it's at the minor end of breaches. No chance the BCCI will do anything.

No.

The NSW government itself considers the current outbreak serious enough to have issued this restriction:

• Controlled, outdoor gatherings (seated, ticketed, enclosed) reduced to 2,000 people.

But apparently the Test Match, with a proposed crowd of 20k+, somehow magically doesn't fall into that category.

Update on restrictions 2 January 2021

This is no different to rules for the NRL in Sydney and AFL in Queensland over winter.

 

[Phone]

I think it's entirely reasonable, but I'm surprised that this didn't come out during the negotiations over the Sydney test

 

[magpiemaniac44]

F me, not surprised though
CA would’ve known this was gonna happen. You know what why do India get to dictate where the games are played, no touring other country gets that ability. The ICC and BCCI are so corrupt it’s insane. This is a kick in the guts to QLD as they have done nothing wrong, and now NSW gets rewarded with two tests for having a COVID outbreak. Hopefully there is somewhere else they can play the last test, maybe even Adelaide?
