Australia v India third Test 2021: Cricket summer reaches fever pitch (smh.com.au)



It sounds less that the rules have changed but the rules will be enforced far more stringently in QLD -- i.e. enforced by cops.

Nah, I think I am pretty sure when the schedule was drawn up the Indians were expecting similar guidelines as they have had in Melbourne now and the other grounds earlier. I think the new cases in Melbourne and Sydney have complicated things somewhat and from what I read in an article that quoted a Queensland minister or premier, they need to stay indoors at the hotel and then travel only to the ground or something. I guess some middle ground arrangement will be found and the series will go ahead as scheduled.

At least india don't use sandpaper to win match unlike some other cheaters

Don't see why you think that. When the schedule was drawn up the Qld border was firmly shut to NSW and Victoria, just like it is now. That's why the white ball games were only played in Sydney and Canberra.

Coz maybe they were assured by CA that they will get those exemptions due to being in the bubble from day 1 in Australia.

This is where you keep getting it wrong. The exemption is to cross a border that is closed to every other person from Sydney, not to go out and about in public

Nah, you are obviously wrong to assume that you know what the rules that were agreed to were. I think on balance of probability, it is much more likely that the quarantine restrictions the Indians agreed to, across all venues, are not what is being imposed in Queensland and is more restrictive. So BCCI have all the right to object to it.

And when I say balance of probability, I mean the fact that the new cases in Melbourne and Sydney has changed the landscape with the other states shutting borders very quickly, and also the fact that CA seem to be considering this seriously which they do not need to, if the restrictions have remained the same all along.

It could just be that the Indian players have more quarantine fatigue than they thought they would, which is also reasonable imo

What's Rohit's excuse, he got there later than any of them.

Even the Melbourne Storm managed to go 9 months without incident in not breaching the bubble. Rugby League players who have such low capacity for thinking and self control that they can't resist beating their wives, cheating on their wives with club staffers, shitting in hotel hallways, trying to glass a legend's son, hitting on his daughter then vomiting on his son, punching Bali bouncers, doing coke in NZ clubs, giving signed jerseys to bikies, raping people and knifing ****s at church ffs.

i’ve enjoyed the two matches prior quite a lot but **** me this one hasn’t even started and it’s already by far the most entertaining

 

[aussie tragic]

My mistake, obviously Indian cricketers are immune from Covid and therefore don't need to follow the covid rules that apply to the 26 million Australians that live here.

2 things come to mind. The rules are in place in NSW for QLD, so if they don't go to QLD presumably the rules are relaxed. secondly, it's unclear if the QLD policy of staying only in your hotel (ie no relaxing with multiple team-mates in a general room in the hotel) is in place for NSW.

(It seems QLD has agreed to relax that rule anyway)

You mean the same Australians that eat indoors in restaurants in Melbourne?

 

[Gnske]

Notsureifsrs ?

That's clearly him and he committed suicide. I only noticed when it was pointed out before.

No, the 5 million Sydney people that can't come to Brisbane unless being granted an exemption that includes quarantine/ self isolation rules to follow.

There are two separate conversations happening in the thread. One is with regards to the bubble breach and one with regards to India preferring not to play in Brisbane because of another quarantine mode. The latter is about Indian cricketers essentially not wanting to break the local covid rules, so the opposite of what you write here.

Was it the same rule 2 weeks ago?

To come from Sydney to Brisbane, yes it was

Well sub yourself out of this thread, oh wait you aren't even fit enough to post in this thread.

***t.

Nah these restrictions are new. But they're also, you know, enforced by the police, not something CA has just sprung on everyone at the last moment.
