I'm listening in the ABC but apparently Shane Warne is having an absolute meltdown on Kayo because Hobart has been named as the host of the 5th Test.
Suck shit Warney, you'd be a hobo if you'd think bowl leg breaks.
Cummins in doubt for second Test after COVID close contact designation
A COVID-19 scare has caused chaos within the Australian cricket team just hours before the Adelaide Test, with Pat Cummins identified as a close contact of a positive case..............................
...................It is unclear whether the fast bowler will feature in the second Test, beginning on Thursday afternoon, but one source said it was “unlikely”. If Cummins is ruled out, vice-captain Steve Smith would take his place as skipper.

I love Pat Cummins but no the smartest move the night before a Test Match
Dire news. Lyon and Starc ate at the same place but had the nouse to eat outdoors which made them casual contacts. One thing is sure there's going to be many, many more such disruptions with governments around the world pretty much unable to contain this latest fast moving mega-lurgy. So far seems not as devastating as Delta - provided your luck holds up.

An unnamed Perth Glory player has also tested positive for Covid in Adelaide.
I hope governing bodies of other sports in Australia are watching this and will tweak their rules accordingly. It's easy for a Soccer fixture to make up games due to the less physical nature of the game but you would think Rugby, NRL and the AFL which are more physical would not have the capacity of making up games unless they shift their dates which is something less likely in Rugby due to International dates etc.
The EPL has had large numbers of positives and have started postponing. Players have been told to self test in their car and go back home if positive. Given reports that double-jabbed people are only about 30% protected and with a booster only 70%, and much higher transmission rates, it's not looking great for sports anywhere.![]()

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa
Hang in there mate, and vent on here if you need to!

English Rugby clubs calling off games as they can’t field a squad.
Generally speaking you aren’t learning much if your lips are moving!!!
