You still working from home, mate? I'm following on Cricinfo so not getting to watch it

WFH is the new normal. Will be doing 2-3 days in the office starting mid Jan I think but won’t be full time in the office for the foreseeable future

Bizarre. Even when we were locking down here I never really got to dip my toe in the WFH thing. I find it quite difficult to relate to! I can't imagine how many people would have less than ideal working environments at their house. Can you write off your PC/laptop on tax or did work kit you out with all the gear?

My office went back mid-October, but gave us the option of working two days per week at home. It's pretty much the ideal balance for me.

By October, I was suffering from not having the ability to discuss things with colleagues face to face. So going back 3 days per week is beneficial. I certainly didn't miss the commute though. It feels harder than I remembered.

I've been in the office basically full time since July. I just can't handle wfh.

Also no one really sits close enough to me to notice I've normally got Kayo going on my phone anyway.

Yeah I love not commuting but full time WFH for 9 months sucks big time. Depends what job you have though, I can imagine some jobs would be pretty managable with this setup and the only thing you'd really miss would be the social interactions.

Let's get Quinz 's opinion on this...

Gotta be specific though, Quinz interprets W F & H very differently to the rest of us.

India just put on 71 runs for that last wicket stand, aaaaand Cam Greens gone off after getting a ball to the noggin

Exciting bookends to that innings. Bumrah's highest score in basically any format - first class, test, ODI, List A, T20 and backyard cricket

Joe Burns lol.

Joe Burns lol.

That's enough of a body of work for him to be dropped from the first Test team.

Probably enough to see him dropped from Queensland as well.

He was trash as a bowler in his last year at the scorchers. Playing fantastically for the stars/Aus

 

[FKASC]

Lol Andre careful mate

You Kayo boys n girls getting any ads between overs in T20? Gilly just talked some shit about Macca's and then I got a Macca's ad on Fox. Is this new?

The **** are you all watching the BBL for when you've got Aus A v India on Kayo? Huge innings for Alex Carey this.

I switched it over when rain hit. Switched back and they'd lost a handful of wickets. Isn't it over now?

10 overs til Stumps, its a day/nighter.

Although Carey's out so it's not overly exciting now.

Disney won't recast Chadwick Boseman for Black Panther 2, the right call imo

Alex Carey is set up to be overlooked for the test keeping position when Paine Retires

Who's overtaking him though? There's a lot of young talent, but is anyone else doing well in FC cricket? Surely Paine has at most 12 months left.
