What does a player bubble mean? Just duck out for a feed whenever you want?

3rd Test at the SCG, Sydney, 7 Jan - 11 Jan 2021
- Thread starter Spark
- Start date
2018 was full strength. they played the best xi available. maoning of smith and warner's absence is like moaning about mcgrath's or ponting's. the ban was handed out by ca.
what an absolute humiliation. after two days of whining about a flat mcg pitch, the best bowler of this generation bowled them out for 150..

you do realise that you've basically gotten as many infraction points as you have posts because of this sort of garbage, right

Mate, you are not helping. And none of that is true. Come on.

Well, given it seemingly means you can duck out to malls whenever you want, I would expect that it is looser than whatever you think it is.

So much for the overfriendly vibes. No way of condoning this. Drop whoever's involved (or have CA grow a pair and make them sit out) and pay for your stupidity with a loss in the 3rd Test. Though realistically, it's just Pant and Gill that matter here. Saha's a decent replacement while KL can open for Gill.

Australian cricket has always pushed the rules. But Steve Smith’s ball-tampering has left them without a defence.

Guess I had not actually stated this even though I have had this opinion since the story broke. If it is an actual breach of protocol, then the 5 should just be dropped and asked to isoloate and join for the 4th test. You really cannot play with the security of the other team members, the opponents, the umpires, the broadcasters and everyone else involved. It really is stupid if it was written that they cannot dine in indoors.

Opens up the way for Thakur in the team now. A great test career about to unfold.

I miss the days when players could just call other players a **** and that would be the end of it.Beyond a brain fade

Clamping down on on-field conduct has meant the only way players can have a 'go' at each other is via backroom politics, social media, and endless reports and fines and appeals and whiny press conferences. This is infinitely less fun to follow as a fan.
If two players have beef, stick them in a 1 vs 1 Ultimate Kricket Challenge, match, turn up the stump pics and sell it on PPV. Let's go full WWE/UFC.

But a senior member of the BCCI has reportedly rubbished the reports while Indian journalist Boria Majumdar said “there is no investigation for a breach confirms @BCCI and never was such a thing even under consideration”.
“No, there has been no breach in bio-security protocols. Everyone associated with the Indian team is well aware of the protocols,’ the official told the Press Trust of India on conditions of anonymity.
“We can only term it as a malicious spin by a section of Australian media and this has started after their humiliating defeat.
The Australian media at times acts as an extension of their cricket team.”
Yeah, for real.

Saha is absolute garbage, is it possible to ask Rahul to open and keep ?
Could get Vihari to open and Rahul bat at 5?
Saha can go and prepare for the next Indian test series v Sri Lanka so everyone is a winner.

Make an example of Pant's fat ass. He should be the last guy flouting protocol for a snack ffs
