Cricket 2021: NZ in England and WTC Final

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.
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?

Sky has the rights to ICC tournaments.
Right. So Spark are the dominant cricket broadcaster now

@mn5 they will probably need it to, been drizzly, windy and struggling to get over 11 degrees for what seems like a month now.
It’ll be like playing at the Basin then. Sweet
I don't know how you did it but you actually made me miss Wellington weather..

Report from someone with the team in Southampton is apparently cold and wet. May in England baby
On a walk yesterday I was regretting not wearing gloves. The wind this week has brought me back home.
Figuratively.

I lost my place at Lords when they cancelled all spectator tickets and reallocated the reduced capacity to MCC members only. A mate got 4 tickets in the WTC ballot so I’m there on the Saturday. Is that Day 2?
