Robbored Posted September 10, 2021 Report Share Posted September 10, 2021 Lots of conspiracy theories being discussed on TalkSport including the IPL contract theory. Apparently the test will be rescheduled………………umm……..when will that be? Huge financial implications as well and the Indians getting some fearful criticism - they apparently didn’t want the fifth test match originally and now they’re claiming that they can’t raise a side because of covid - utter bullocks. Kohli getting the finger pointing right at him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was pre-vaccine However, I really don't have an issue with Indian players not wanting to play this game in case they have picked up COVID. They may well test positive in the next 48 hours and the IPL is extremely important, whether we like it or not. But, they do just need to forfeit this test match. 1 minute ago, Robbored said: I agree that after Jim White the station is utter crap.

And Its Smith Posted September 10, 2021 Report Share Posted September 10, 2021 Tom Harrison talking calmly with a lot of sense Tom Harrison, boss of the ECB, is being interviewed on Sky. “It wasn’t an outbreak of Covid,” he says, contradicting the BCCI statement. “It was the perception of what might happen post the [Indian] physio testing positive.” But he is not unsympathetic, and he sees this as part of the broader picture of needing to look after the players’ mental health. “Once you’ve got that sense of concern and anxiety in a dressing room, and we’ve been in this place before ourselves [in South Africa], it can be very difficult to reverse that. And I think fans do understand this now because we’ve been talking about it for a while. The physical and mental health of players, they’re as important as each other.” I dont think the mass scepticism we have seen this morning is very helpful really. These players have their families with them as well as far as I understand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but given that they were trying back in May to get it moved or cancelled, the scepticism is perfectly understandable. Harrison is undoubtedly trying to maintain good relations with the BCCI, but he must surely appreciate why people are cynical.
