God help me - the Test Cricket thread

[ElwoodBlues1]

I suppose this is off the back of the news about the SA COVID variant being perhaps even more infectious than the UK variant, as well as some reports claiming it is less susceptible(more resistant) to the vaccination regimes now on offer.

What does it mean for the two squads hypothesis?

[member=57]ElwoodBlues1[/member] Where would you think it's safer to tour, Sth Africa or India?

I ask because I suspect the bulk of the players will be back at the IPL as soon as possible regardless of the COVID situation.

Yep its based around the SA CoVid variant......SA or India?...good question LP, Pakistan have/are touring SA and things seem ok and the SA Govt are saying they are on top of their second wave. I guess if you are playing IPL for big money it makes the choice easier but for me I'd prefer SA, the Saffers were sending their own team and staff into quarantine for 14 days prior to the series beginning and complying with most of what we asked for. Having travelled to India when I was younger I would be a bit more dubious of their healthcare measures..
