4th Ashes Test: Australia v England @ SCG Jan 5-9, 2022

[TheParraboy]

At this stage still at the SCG. Will change venue if it gets changed

Well well
Will poms make 4-5 unforced changes again ??

I reckon this side makes us go 4-0 up.

Maybe England need another Joe Root honesty session to get them fired up for the 4th test

England implodes as trainwreck Ashes interview sparks outrage

Former England bowler Steve Harmison said the Test team must hit the “reset” button as a searching inquest began into their humiliating Ashes capitulation in Australia.

The reigning ODI World Champions is a false positive too.

England are gash. The cowards will find a way to go home before Sydney

 

[mozza91]

Got my tickets for days 1-3. Will undoubtedly be relocated for this reason.

England are gash. The cowards will find a way to go home before Sydney

Heard Michael Vaughn say if we impose tougher covid measure/bubbles, thinks poms will go home. Saying they argreed to tough protocols already prior the tour. Anything more and they leave

With the way Sydney (mainly) to covid is exploding (over 11k cases yesterday, and over 600 in hospital), dare say there will need to be further guidelines for professional teams

Sobbering thought, we could have 50k cases daily by the time SCG test starts. Dont want to think what hopsitals would be like

 

[The Mad Hatter]

I don’t even care if England go home. They are piss weak. I genuinely don’t give a shit as long as I get my tickets for the SCG refunded. They are the most gutless, poorly performing, wank of a team I’ve ever seen, and I saw deplorable Aussie performances in the 80s and England through the 90s. They literally don’t give a f**k and don’t even come up with decent excuses, considering they’re pretty top notch at it. Even the Barmy Army (the poor bastards) have given it away.

They will be looking for every reason to go home and with covid ravaging through NSW, they won't have to look very hard

 

[AlwaysGreen]

The only way the tour gets cancelled for covid reasons is if their touring party gets hammered by it.

It's a bit much to pull out of a tour due to covid cases when your home country is pulling numbers 10 times the amount of nsw.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Well you can lock smudge in for a century.

Last 4 times i have seen him bat live he has scored a century. And got tickets for days 2 through to 4.

Sure did.

Sydney wasn't much better.

But then we were playing India so grass wasn't allowed.

 

[some11]

What kind of financial penalty are poms looking at if they pull out.

No doubt a bunch of lawyers going over the contracts right now.

Obsessed

The SCG wicket tonight in the Sixers vs Heat game looked a sticky wicket . Could be an interesting first day for whoever bats first - Not particularly hot days up to the start of the Test to bake the wicket and a few showers expected including on the first day - 5/1/2022

Not sure about that as Tonight in the Sixers vs Heat BBL Game the wicket looked a sticky one - The Temperatures will be mild temps no days 30 or over leading up to the game to bake the wicket with showers expected including on the 1st day - 5/1/2022.- 24/25/24/27/28 the temps over the 5 days - a few showers expected on 8/1/22

Might have a bit in it especially the first day -so bowl first if you win the toss maybe the option- Could be a wicket which may suit the English seamers?
