| Post subject: Third Test could be at the MCG. |  |
|
"The Melbourne Cricket Ground is in line to host back-to-back Test matches this summer but Cricket Australia is giving Sydney every opportunity to get the COVID-19 outbreak under control before making a final decision on the venue for the third Vodafone Test match.
An outbreak of coronavirus in Sydney's northern beaches has put CA officials on high alert with an emergency meeting of CA's Board and a steering committee of administrators working to plan for contingencies.
CA today announced the MCG as the back-up venue if the SCG is unable to host the third Test against India from January 7, while the intention is for the Gabba to remain the venue for the series finale from January 15.
A final decision on the venue for the third Test will be made during the Boxing Day Test."

| They should (but obviously won't) take Merv Hughes's suggestion and make it a pink-ball day-night Test. |

Our muppets can't see the red ball, so maybe pink is a good option.
And Finch surely is entitled to a chop at opening in the test team?

Winviz SCG 75% MCG 25%
Far too much invested to postpone match at this late stage. Highly unlikely.

CA won't move 3rd test now.
Scenario could be that 4th will have to be played in Sydney as teams will not be able to enter Qld or return to Vic.
