They have just announced the squad, and Banton's stayed in place of Malan.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Three players and four staff members out with COVID-19. After the way the Eng-SA tour ended in December I can't help but laugh hollowly

ECB: Official Statement - COVID19 Testing

 

[honestbharani]

So them keeping out all the good players so far was a master stroke ?

 

[Lillian Thomson]

It's either forgive Alex Hales or pick Darren Stevens.

 

[cnerd123]

Big opportunity for Pakistan to nab some Super League points here

 

[flibbertyjibber]

So why do we have to pick an entire new squad but when Billy Gilmour got covid in the euros Scotland didn't lose anyone?

The rules in this country are messed up, no wonder people are fed up with Boris and Co.

To be a Covid contact you have to be within 2 metres for 15 minutes. They must have had an orgy or an extended group hug.

So Gilmour must smell as he was nowhere near his teammates in the dressing room, coach and hotel for the previous day or so.

15 minutes is quite a long time to be within two metres of someone even in that environment. The only people affected were his two England mates Foden and Mount who he spent time with after the match.

 

[superkingdave]

So Stokes, Vince, Parkinson, Mahmood, Jordan, Topley of those who have recently played.

Is Pope fit? Good chance to give Hain a go? Ben Duckett? Hales forgiven?

 

[Magrat Garlick]

the ECB say they've restricted the "stringent enforcement of bio secure environments" which presumably is different to what the football teams claim they are doing

Anyway new squad, Hales is

[Spikey]

sad to see England trying to sabotage Somerset like this.

 

[trundler]

Might actually watch this now

 

[superkingdave]

Surprised that a guy averaging 60 in List A can't get a game with the whole squad out!

Some behind the scenes reason?

 

[Starfighter]

Am I the only person who thinks that at this point the main cause of the continuing issues between Hales and Morgan is probably Morgan?

No.

 

[Spikey]

i mean, of course morgan is the problem
