Nokias dont break. We all know this. Anrich should change his name ASAP. This is outrageous.

Which is perfectly understandable. Even if 1 player gets affected entire squad comes in danger because how rapidly Omicron spreads.

They didn't want a repeat of the messy situation that transpired in England before 5th Test. Its better to have these guarantees in place.
And I guess we should partly be prepared for India leaving South Africa after the 1st or 2nd Test, or it could even happen in the next couple of days ... you never know

Don't think situation is too bad. If they all follow protocols well & Bio secure is strict enough series should happen smoothly. India hosted England in somewhat more dire situation in January Feb this year & cases were daily rising. Pune ODIs had no business to happen as cases were sky rocketing but they did... So it's upto players & board how they handle things over there.

Think the bio bubbles will hold as it is only 2 teams. IPL was in issue given sheer number of teams and venues involved. This time should be ok and it seems the numbers have started to fall now having already peaked. Also, at least in RSA, it seems Omicron has been pretty mild compared to Delta.

Apart from the first one against England, South Africa's got a good track record when it comes to setting up bubbles, so there shouldn't be any problems.
And the article I read was more about India being guaranteed that they'd be able to return home even if borders were closed, so I think this story might be more about reporting on the plans for a worst case scenario rather than suggesting that it's something which could happen.

Yeah this is actually what article suggested. I also expect series to happen without any issues but it's good to have contingency plans just in case.

They may go well but 5 seamers is always overkill when one of them is not a top 6 bat.
