And something of a backlash happening in the media.

Surely it would have to be played in a bubble with no spectators  ::)

It is looking that way. Covid is spreading through Sydney, of that there is no doubt. Makes a test there look dubious. Can't see how they can scan the crowd to keep out anyone infected. Better to go with no crowd.
Live Long and Prosper!

Nah 27000 will be ok.  They will be trusted to not sit next to each other, and wear masks except when they are eating and drinking....

How on earth they can stage this test in Sydney, then go to Brisbane (albeit with a special exemption) defies logic.   I'd be furious if I was in Queensland.

NSW leading the stupidity race as per usual,  daylight second.

I don't think it's stupid, it's wilfully indifferent.

Contrast this to NSW closing it's borders and telling Victorians how good NSW has been, all the while shipping International infected returnees to hotels in Melbourne and letting infected Kiwi's migrate south straight off the tarmac!

Now apparently Vic is being unreasonable!

It's all really crap low level politics, the gutter isn't low enough!

Boycott Brisbane... Isn't that a default to the other side?   Bet that will go down like a turd in a swimming pool at the BCCI.

NSW's V'Landys style administration method might go down well with the locals,  but for Australians outside those borders,  you  and your cronies ain't winning fans Gladys.

Just imagine if the Aussies were touring India and we wanted to boycott one of their dungheaps? Maggots.

Sir Jimmy Anderson? .... Was going to be knighted but given he will probably tour here again its been postponed as the powers at be thought he might cop a right royal sledging from our blokes.
JA is a highly skilled bowler but I have never seen the greatness in him that others do and and I am fascinated how the English throw knighthoods at cricketers. I'm no fan of the royals and the idea of titles etc but if you are going to hand them out then give them to people who really change the world we live in for the better and not the likes of Jimmy who
while very good at his craft has enjoyed the benefits of being a pro sportsman more than he has given back imo.

The political lie is exposed.

Just hours after the teams departed Melbourne for Sydney, knowing full well they wouldn't be allowed back to Melbourne without quarantine, Gladys slashed the crowd numbers at the SCG from 30K to 10K!

.

To be fair, it was that twat Barilaro, Gladys is having a break.

I heard an eminent epidemiologist recommending that punters get a COVID test as they enter the SCG.  At the very least, they should have temperature checks.

If the ACB reward Sydney with two tests after the bullsh1t that's gone down in NSW then we need to drop the pretense that 7 of the 8 states and territories matter.  But then again, even Bradman would have struggled to get a game if he didn't come from NSW.

Your anti-NSW bias is showing Prof 😇

The fact that the Sydney Test is going ahead is a triumph for vested interests over sound public health policy.

To steal a line from a classic joke, I can imagine a punter responding to Gladys with, “Don’t call me ‘Freckles’, and where were you when the sh1t hit the fan?”
