This will almost certainly be the end of day/night tests involving India, the board in India didn't want to play these tests under lights.

Will also put a huge dent in Kholi's standing, especially as he's not going to participate further to redeem the team (for understandable reasons).

While you’re probably not wrong about the outcome, India’s batting collapse in the third innings was during daylight...

Very good analysis.

Clearly Sydney Test in doubt

Virus threatens to cause cricket shake-up

Cricket Australia is reportedly considering contingency plans should the New Year’s Test in Sydney need to be delayed or cancelled altogether, but has not rushed into making any changes just yet and is hopeful the schedule will remain untouched.

On has to feel for the Indians on the a Gabba wicket if they couldn’t handle Adelaide.

 

[CaptJCool]

There was free movement around AO
No designated members area so a great opportunity for unrestrained wanderings
Walking, anyone ?


tram anyone ?

and the Allure cafe
what better way to toast a crazy result


Adelaide Oval a stellar showcase!

Especially when the slips cordon is a half meter or so below the actual batting crease
(dome shaped cricket ovals all the rage to enable drainage)

 

[Carrots]

Well, bu***r! What am i going to do tomorrow now!

Pretty much the same thing I've been saying on Day 4 of the Adelaide Test for the last few years! They're finishing early regularly these days.

Back-to-back Sydney tests would make for great comic relief:

'We can run two Tests': The extraordinary plan to save the Sydney Test

Sydney has launched an 11th-hour bid to not only save its iconic New Year fixture but also pinch the Brisbane Test.

If a single test cannot be run in Sydney, then the solution is not to run two tests there.

Play the Melbourne Boxing Day test, which has history attached.

Play the Sydney New Year’s test, ditto.

And then if QLD can’t get their act together in time for the fourth test, it’s their loss.

The players and other staff of both teams may not wish to enter a zone where it impacts their free movement after the test.

No kidding.

But others may be happy enough for the people who are restricting free movement to lose out.

Happy is an odd term. Who is happy about it? The pandemic has been all about compromise and sacrifice.


So far in Oz, professional sport get played in the states which can host it.

I love my footy, but had to watch the whole season on TV as I was in the wrong state.


With soccer they have gone with the strategy of NSW teams playing each other, and the other teams outside NSW play one another.

Qld hosted several sports, and many teams.

The NBL will hub in Melbourne from Feb 20.

The pandemic has been all about compromise and sacrifice.

Much of it irrational and unnecessary.

So far in Oz, professional sport get played in the states which can host it.

And some will quite rightly contend that NSW can.

If the policy settings aren’t adjusted at some point, no one’s going to be going anywhere for a long time.
