Re: God help me - the Test Cricket thread

You would think that no-one, passengers or crew, could board a plane unless they have a negative COVID test result 🙄
And that should apply more strictly to cricketers, and other privileged sportsfolk.
The Indian players haven’t stuck to the restrictions - and are unlikely to be fined or suspended - and Pakistani and English players have tested positive.
I get that Test Cricket, and other sports, are probably more important to our wellbeing now than at any time in the last 60 years or more, but public health has to be given priority.
I read yesterday that the Westin Hotel in Melbourne has torn up its agreement with TA to house tennis players during the AO. Owners of appartments within the complex arced up and raised concerns over their safety and forced the Westin's hand by threatening legal action. Thats what you get when sportspeople don't behave properly and follow rules.
