With the Covid curveball in SA over the last 2 days - a lot of radio talk has focussed around the first test in Adelaide.
Not that the match won't proceed - but..
Unless SA can get local transmissions consistently back to Zero by early December (2nd or 3rd) - Players MAY have to quarantine when leaving for other states - ie Victoria.... for the boxing day test. And while Victoria isn't one of them (yet) some states have already shut their borders.
Throw India into the equation - needing to quarantine for 14 days on arrival to Australia, they'll be having absolutely no part of further quarantining in Australia across borders.
So far SA have done extremely well at squashing covid "clusters", and hopefully the same will happen again. But the next 3-4 days could effectively decide where the first test will be held.
Wouldn't be surprised Anastacia Palascak is gunning for it to return to Brisbane, and Perth licking their lips to come off the bench and host a test.
