The first time he did it was funny. Now he's just a flog.

Definitely. It was amusing the first time, pretty harmless and audacious. The players were chucking even. This though is disgraceful, you can’t charge out there and make contact with anyone else. He keeps getting into the grounds though.

WA government going hard on 2 week quarantine for the poms prior to the Perth test match even after they've done 2 weeks on arrival before the first test.


Just scrap the Perth test and move it to Canberra or Hobart. Job done.
Yep. Move it to Hobart.

That’s not practical to expect them to do that amount of quarantine, something has got to give. Many of them would be coming with their immediate families too, when you factor in young children and hard hotel quarantines, can see why many players would be iffy about whether to tour or not.

If they're all fully vaxxed they shouldn't have to quarantine at all IMO. But yes, 2 lots of HQ is just ridiculous.

Is there a reason Adelaide wouldn't have it?

Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide are locked in already. Obviously Perth is the traditional place for the 5th test with pacy hard wickets etc but it just seems easier to play it in Hobart or Canberra to save all the dramas with WA.

To be honest I’ve barely taken notice of the tournament up until the semis. And now a nice final set up. New Zealand finally broke their final hoodoo (for want of a better word) in the Test Championship. Defeating Australia though is something they’d want to overcome.

I’ve only seen highlights, that was a great heist to get the win. Geez that dropped catch was game changing for Pakistan.
