[Jono]

Channel Nine are reporting that the Hughes family want the Gabba Test to go ahead

"He would want that. And he so wanted to be there".

Obviously still depends on the players as well, but this is why comments such as "there is no way the test should go ahead" were premature imo. Wait to hear what the affected parties want.

 

[Nate]

But Jono is always wrong.

 

[Spikey]

cancel the test match, play a couple of T20s involving current and past players, mcc style, in between the Adelaide and Melbourne test matches, dont invite shane warne

 

[howardj]

There's always the option to delay the Gabba Test until say 10 December, and then have the Adelaide Test starting on 17 December

 

[Justo]

Not that it really matters but I heard Mark Waugh on the radio this morning saying that Phil Hughes was set to replace Clarke for the Gabba Test. Would have expected him to dominate if so.

im not getting into should or shouldnt. but it just wont.

 

[cnerd123]

Do you think Clarke will be selected if the first test goes ahead, given all that has happened?

 

[Riggins]

yeah and he'll make 250 too.

Sorry but I don't think the issue is whether Phil would want them to play. It is whether they can play. I don't think so. He wld understand.

man lalor is crushing this

Most of the media have been good, actually, but Lalor and Brettig have been otherworldly

Sutherland said basically the same thing, but then added "we'll play when we're ready".

You don't know **** though tbf

Yeah they haven't made a decision yet, and in all likelihood it will be cancelled. Still doesn't mean the family publicly coming out and saying they'd like the game to go ahead means nothing. It is relevant. It ticks them off. It then becomes whether the players and CA want it to go ahead.

Is there? How would that affect Boxing Day and the NY Test?

Can't see how they can postpone by more than 1 day really.

Disagree. Invite Warne. Have Brett Lee break his hand again.

Yeah unless they do fancy **** like moving it to after Sydney it's on schedule or bust IMO.

Boxing Day Test starts Boxing Day

New Year Test starts in 2015

If you move it to those dates you're playing four back-to-back-to-back-to-back Tests.
