Australia vs India 2020/21

[Burgey]

Surely you are way too nice in real life and overcompensating on CW, right?

Nah **** that.

SCG holds about 50k. Ordinarily members have to reserve seating ahead of the test match as only about 1/4 or maybe even less of the ground's capacity is in the members' area. With Covid restrictions limiting ground capacities so people can spread out, it would only be fair if those who'vepaid their annual membership fees to keep the joint going while there's been **** all on there get the chance to fill the seats all around the ground*

*except the O'Reilly Stand, which ****ing blows hard as it's mostly in the sun all ****ing day. The Swarmy Army can have that afaic.

You seriously think crowds will be allowed?

SCG has had (limited) crowds for a while, actually.

Be good for me if there's two in Sydney. Hopefully they limit tickets to Members only and keep the heathen swine out.

Situation is pretty fluid though. Melbourne is hopeful of reopening in time for the annual Boxing Day Draw. If their levels of infection are low enough, the NSW border will be open so there won't be a drama going Melbourne-Sydney.

If that happens they could feasibly do Brisbane-Adelaide (getting the two strictest State borders other than WA out of the way) then with Australia 2-0 up inside four days of cricket, the tier one Aussie bowlers can have a rest for the Melbourne feather bed which will be a draw, and recharge at the Watsons Bay pub ahead of the 3-0 sealing win in Sydney

Marnus and Smith might get annoyed at Paine declaring on them before they bring up their triples if we're going too declare within 4 sessions in each test.

We are having limited crowds at AFL venues in Qld at the moment. Providing the situation in Victoria remains stable and NSW doesn't grow, it's a chance.

Adelaide oval is getting 10-20k for AFL atm so best guess would be about that.
