If England can't win in these circumstances they can't win at all.

Curious how this Wednesday night restaurant situation unfolded. Was the person out and about while awaiting test results and then told Pat, who immediately left and called CA? Bizarre.

It seems like the most likely...in which case they're pretty ****ing selfish.
The only other thing that makes sense is that they came in from overseas, when you get a test after you arrive you don't need to isolate

You suspect English sabotage?

Not a bad way to disrupt the side.

No eating together at the same restaurant from now on guys. If you have to go out to eat, go separately.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiight.

... I'm not the only one who thinks that not having to isolate until after your result comes back sounds nuts, right?

Yeah, that's completely ****ing ridiculous

I think that's the rule here too if you don't have symptoms.

Lyon and Starc were in the same restaurant but ate outside lol

That's what we're heading towards, I suppose. Otherwise you couldn't even do a weekend away, you'd be isolated until it was time to fly back home again.

The Poms didn't sign up for it but I am surprised the teams aren't operating in more of a bubble.

Yep, if we're making people get tested beforehand, on day 2 and 6 after arriving from Feb 5, making them isolate all those times is ridiculous, especially as they'd be expected to be negative.

So the next question then is if Covid is being accepted as in the community, and if you play professional sport but can't play if exposed to Covid, then what protocols have the players agreed to and are they going to be tightened to avoid a repeat of this?

I assume it'll be like the US sports, where players are regularly out for a week or two because they have COVID or are a close contact

Put Eagles jumpers on the Beagle Subi Boys.

 

[Quinz]

If only they'd agreed to hold the Second Test in Perth.

 

[Bender_]

LOL at the quality of the English cap - have Castore got the contract for them too?

 

[Agent93]

Damn late cricket is gonna get in the way of the Survivor finale.

 

[DickDunn]

England bowling first on what looks like a reasonably hot day and flat track. You'd think Root will have to be sending a few down before lunch if they're any chance of getting through their overs this time

Put them on the Shane Warne diet of tinned spaghetti and baked beans, problem solved

At least now we don't need to worry about resting Cummins.
