Road to the Ashes 2021/22

[Burgey]

set in an fascist state

This is a terrible take, and both insensitive given there are many millions of people here still in lock down and inappropriate given there's tens of thousands of extra corpses over your way.

I mean, I wouldn't have gone there, but you saw fit to throw this sort of bull**** around so you can wear it, frankly.

As I said, five of the England football team are not vaccinated.

Also ''one-two players'' could be Jimmy Anderson or Joe Root (probably not but for sake of argument).

....and? we play cricket.

the two pinnacles players have (international cricket and pay days in T20 leagues) require travelling on planes and entering foreign countries all over the world. It's pretty likely that not being vaccinated will be a problem for players over the next year. if any dumb-arses still don't want to get vaccinated, then whatever, but that really won't have any impact on whether the Ashes should be held. I assume no-one believes the Ashes should be cancelled if Pat Cummins does a back injury and has to miss out.

GAS thinks it should be cancelled if Pat Cummins hasn't played a FC game in the lead-up though.

 

[Burgey]

Personally I believe it would be disastrous if the cricket world's hero Pat Cummins was injured, and the Ashes should be cancelled in those circumstances.

GAS thinks the Ashes should be cancelled if they threaten a full 10 game shield season

 

[Spikey]

Should the Ashes be cancelled because Jimmy Anderson doesn't want to renew his passport? My post:

 

[GIMH]

Tbh of all the things to correctly attack Australia for, a double vax requirement to enter probably isn’t even in the long list. Rightly or wrongly vax requirements to enter countries have been a thing for a long time.

Abolish all international cricket, lets have a 40 round Shield

If more funding is needed, set up a stall to pelt rotten fruit at everyone high up in CA management. Prices depend on how many throws you want to have

Surely not my worst idea here

 

[harsh.ag]

Ashes to ashes
shield to shield
if a rotten apple don't get ya
a bloated GAS will

Surely Jimmy would want to be double vaxxed? At his age he is very high risk if infected

Why the **** aren't they vaxxed?

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Why the **** aren't they vaxxed?

The football players over here are avoiding it in droves. Even Jurgen Klopp is telling them to get vaxed. People believe what they want to believe and the conspiracy theories win.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

There's a similar problem likely with the Australian Open Tennis. A lot of the top players have said they have no intention of getting jabbed.

 

[GIMH]

Starting to seriously think this might not go ahead

 

[duffer]

Would be a disaster for CA. Who would be free to fill in?

 

[GIMH]

No idea but I didn't realise Oz have only played 4 Tests during Covid

Pakistan? and maybe SL?

 

[Spikey]

No idea but I didn't realise Oz have only played 4 Tests during Covid

nevertheless, nathan lyon and tim paine's thoughts on this matter are worth heavy consideration

TBF it's not like we've actually missed (m)any.

Ramiz needs them to play, would make sense. Both huge comedowns when compared to an Ashes though
