None of the Indian players have Covid. They were tested after the test at The Oval and all came back negative.

Very different from say a situation like the Tyrone football team where a lot of the players were ravaged and struck down with Covid.

Any Proteas fans on the forum?

Possibly @mickee321? He’s a big fan of the old Die Stem anthem.

Tim Paine has resigned as Australian Test captain over some dodgy text messages he sent four years ago.

This is apparently the exchange of messages in issue.

Classy. Did Steve Smith leak them?

A co-worker it seems. He had to go.

Pat Cummins next man up. Hopefully this doesn’t negatively impact the Aussies in the Ashes.

Some stuffy old blazer in Tasmanian cricket seemingly the whistleblower.

He is still on the team yeah? Only given up the captaincy?

Apparently so

Half the team will be ineligible for the captaincy after various misdemeanours.

It’s been a slippery slope for a while now. Probably all started with Mike Gatting getting sacked of the England captaincy for having a harmless chat with a barmaid in his hotel room back in 1988.

They’re representative at least.

Should be a competitive Ashes series. England at 5/1 aren’t the worst bets going.

Ah they’re a shambles. They’ll fold at the first sign of a kookaburra bouncing above waist height.

England are dismal and will be even more so in Australian conditions.
