Warner and Pucovski hopefully in for Burns and Head, then we'll make 350 instead of <200

...450 if Smith finds his hands

COVID outbreak in northern suburbs, which has now also spread to some inner city suburbs, leading to increased social distancing measures and interstate border restrictions.

 

[Gnske]

Yes have it in Sydney, that city of filth and disease where the current outbreak is. That makes sense.

 

[stephen]

I'm betting it stays in Melbourne.

 

[duffer]

I'm betting it stays in Melbourne.

Oh man, similar pitch pls

 

[Salamuddin]

Gotta hold it in Sydney. The Covid situation is under control thanks to the government of glorious Gladys. Plus we have beautiful Burgey of Balgowlah or Bella Vista (take your pick)

 

[Tom Flint]

India should just pick pandya if umesh is out.

And 4th Test confirmed at Gabba (Queensland gave an exemption for teams to cross the closed border from Sydney)

 

[aussie tragic]

Can't imagine the crowd will be very big with all the restrictions they have in place in Sydney?

The real roadblock was always the Queensland government rather than the NSW one. I wouldn't be that surprised if they allowed something close to capacity and just banned Northern Beaches residents.

They said on the Big Bash coverage that the SCG will be at 50% allowed capacity.

hope the move is permanent

You have to question the mental aptitude of any group of people who can continually reelect Bronwyn Bishop at their parlimentary representative
