"In addition to the five-match Ashes Series that will be preceded by the inaugural Test meeting between Australia and Afghanistan in Hobart, the men's home season includes ODI and T20 clashes with New Zealand and a five-game T20 series against Sri Lanka to complete the international season."

Bugger, I'm at work when the 5th Test is played in Perth.

"England are preparing for mass withdrawals from the Ashes tour if players are told on Friday that they will be confined to hotels under strict bubble conditions, after their concerns shifted from family quarantine rules.
...

If players are confined to hotels and not allowed to live a normal life in Australia then the ECB is preparing for mass pullouts.

But if players are free to visit restaurants, cafes and play golf, for example, and leave their hotels, then most will accept the fact they may be apart from their families for the tour if partners, especially those with young children, decide not to go through two weeks of hotel quarantine."

Pucovski off the pace in race for Ashes berth

https://www.smh.com.au/sport/cricket/pucovski-off-the-pace-in-race-for-ashes-berth-20210925-p58uqa.html

"... yet to regain full movement in the joint and ligaments, which is not uncommon after major surgery.

A state insider has told the Herald and The Age the tightness is affecting his ability to play the cut and pull shots, while his fielding is also restricted."

Marcus Harris was ahead of Pucovski in the reckoning for Warner's partner in the upcoming Ashes, anyway.

With three centuries in the English County cricket Championship and one in their limited overs comp. could hardly see him better qualified.

Tim Paine:

“The Ashes are going ahead. The first test is on December 8 – whether Joe is here or not.

“It’ll be worked out above us and then they’ll have a choice whether to get on that plane or not.

“No-one is forcing any England player to come. That’s the beauty of the world we live in – you have a choice. If you don’t want to come, don’t come.”




[Yup. He's right literally and also about what he implies. The Ashes will go ahead. We know that. And it's right that they go ahead. It's not for players to dictate how countries deal with COVID. They are selfish.]

That sounds a bit harsh K. I question whether players who are concerned about getting Covid or being a carrier are being selfish 🙄 I’m eternally concerned about my 89 year old mother although she has had both the vaccines. No vaccine can claim to provide complete 100% protection. Players have the right to choose and with that comes the responsibility to themselves and their families first and foremost above playing a game of test cricket halfway around the world. The hosting team is at home anyway so they can manoeuvre to avoid hot spots or whatever when they are presented with the problem. It’s a complicated situation that can threaten one’s life and it is far better to be safe than sorry.

Lazza, the English players are not remotely concerned about getting COVID. If they were, they'd prefer to be in a bubble in Oz! Exclamation Far safer than walking around the streets of London!

It's the opposite!! They are whingeing about possibly not being allowed out of the bubble to do stuff like play golf. No kidding. Shocked And whether they'll have their WAGs around. (Which even in non-pandemic times was not always allowed by the players' own boards.)


So, repeat: nothing at all to do with health and safety. (Though they'll pretend it has to do with "mental health".) Oz in the worst hotspots is far safer COVID-wise than anywhere in England in the past 18 months.

Thanks for that K. What you say makes sense and I have changed my mind after reading it.

And, Lazza, it's worse than what I wrote. Exclamation I wrote something about them wanting their WAGs along...

But they have never not been allowed WAGs. Exclamation Their issue with WAGs is they want their WAGs to get special treatment so they don't have to do 14 days' quarantine, like everyone else has to. Shocked (The English cricketers claim that if the WAGs have to do quarantine like everyone else, they'll refuse to come out to Oz, so the cricketers will be all "alone". Alone, except for each other and all their support staff...)

The latest news is that the WAGs will now be offered a special luxury resort all to themselves, or something crazy like that. No kidding. Sheesh... If some WAG just split up with her English cricketer partner, she'll now be regretting it!! Wink

^^ ... Resort offered to England team families (Oct 5, 7pm)

https://www.theage.com.au/sport/cricket/country-victoria-key-to-the-ashes-resort-offered-to-england-team-families-20211005-p58xd6.html

"Sources told The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald that families not arriving to quarantine in Queensland in two groups either side of the T20 World Cup in November would instead be hosted in a resort booked exclusively for their use in the Yarra Valley wine region in mid-December, after flying from the UK into Melbourne.
...

Though members of the squad and families arriving into Queensland earlier in November will have to undergo the full 14 days regardless, it will also be with a degree of freedom.

Whisked from the airport to resort accommodation on the Gold Coast, they will, after an initial few days of confinement to rooms, be allowed to train, play golf and walk the grounds. England will then play internal trial matches to warm-up for the Test series."
