@rapido Yeah that was the reason for moving WTC to South Hampton. Has it's own hotel and training grounds so the players can be in their own bubble and still practice. The England matches aren't so easy.
How many IPL players are in our test team apart from Kane, Trent, Kyle, maybe Santner? I haven't been watching it.
That made me smile
South Hampton would be South South Peterborough I think.
Not quite sure why I did that. A flurry of rushed typing whilst trying to fix two computers and sort out a house.

I genuinely wonder how the NZers , and English and Indians, will get out of India and to England. How many options will be available by the time IPL ends?
Where will they have to do quarantine?
Logistical nightmare, some administrators will be earning their money.
There's no physical barrier though mate. All that's needed is someone to sign a document on a piece of paper. That's the extent and remedy of this natural disaster.
Just use the one that exonerated Dominic Cummings for his girlfriend breach of lockdown last year.
Besides, these guys are "bubbled" anyway.
-
There literally is a physical barrier.
Unlike Cummings, these players (and your wife during lockdown , if I am not mixing up posters) can't just jump in their car and damn the consequences.
The thing that overcomes the physical barrier is being squeezed to one transit route. They'll need money and influence to squeeze through that in a timely manner. They'll need good luck with that that in the bureaucratic nightmare that is India when most of the rich dual citizens in a nation of 1.3 billion are trying to do the same thing.

@rapido of the little I know about India, I think that the chance that India can't get their players and 6 of the opposition to the first ever test final is pretty slim.
One plane and some beaurocratic favours.
Probably could find a plane for kohli et al rather than forfeit the final😉
All the vitual pints in the world to you if covid19 stops India playing in a cricket world final🙂

I'm sure they will find a way for the final to go ahead. Or at absolute worse, a convenient delay and/or change of venue.
What will be quite interesting is to see how long it takes Adam Zampa and co to get back to Australia now...
Chris Lynn's plane will be along any time...
It's inevitable that the BCCI will get the best fifteen Indian test players to England, but the best NZ players will be stuck there until October.

It's fucking laughable that a player such as Lynn would go to a risky country such as India, make huge money for a few weeks playing fucking cricket and then suggest it's anyone else's responsibilty to get him home. What a fucking retard.
I think he was joking as Cricket Australia clip the ticket for 10 percent. Doesn't leave as much ... tax, agent, Cricket Aus; probably paying over half the headline figure to other people

You can't be a dual citizen of anywhere if you hold an Indian passport.

OCI for all practical purposes is the same thing no?
Yes as far as I know. I used to work with a lot of Indians. There are some restrictions on land ownership (farms or something) but mostly the same rights as a resident.
I have permanent residency in Hong Kong the only thing that I can't do is run for government there, and given that I don't know the correct people over the border that would have been unlikely.The whole charter flight thing seems a bit daft. I haven't read that much about it but haven't Aus banned everyone from India? Or was he asking for an exemption to actually be allowed back in at all. The charter is an easy one and wouldn't be that expensive, aeroplanes lying around doing nothing everywhere at the moment.

Anyone else have success in the ballot? Got 6 gold tickets for Day 1, so Southampton bound with @Small-Flightless-Bird and others.
Hope for better luck than the last final...

A mate of mine in London didn't have any luck in the final ballot and nor did anyone he knows. Plus he got the boot from one of the England tests.

Sky has won the broadcasting rights for the final. Spark Sport will have daily highlights of the final and broadcast the NZ-England series.
I thought Spark had the domestic rights and Sky had the BCs overseas?
