Posted: Sat Jan 09, 2021 7:39 pmBCCI formally inform CA they don't want to go to Brisbane.
Peter Lalor in the Australian reports:
The Indian Cricket Board has written to Cricket Australia and said it does not want to play the fourth Test in Brisbane because of fears the mutant virus could jeopardise their forthcoming series against England at home.
BCCI officials has also expressed concerns about travelling to a city that is currently in a hard lockdown, but sources said India were still keen to play the fourth Test, but would not risk travelling to Brisbane.
Cricket Australia had just eased India’s concerns over quarantine arrangements in Brisbane before the BCCI changed tact.

Interim Cricket Australia chief Nick Hockley held an ad-hoc after-stumps meeting with Indian team officials over the fence at the SCG last night, with a final decision on the fate of the Gabba Test looming large.
Urgent talks
Hockley and Cricket Australia Chairman Earl Eddings have been locked in urgent talks with BCCI boss Sourav Ganguly, who is out of hospital after a heart attack and now participating in resolving the situation.
Cricket Australia is fighting to secure an iron-clad agreement from the BCCI and officials said they are confident of still resolving the matter and heading to Brisbane.
It’s understood D-Day could be Sunday with a final determination possible. It’s been a week of conjecture and innuendo out of a frustrated Indian camp, and the teams are due to fly north on Tuesday.
The Sydney Sixers and Brisbane Heat teams on the Gold Coast have been locked in their hotels since Brisbane’s three-day lockdown was announced, with players only allowed out for training and Sunday night’s clash, despite the fact they’re in a different part of Queensland.
Previously players based in the BBL hub in Queensland have been permitted to leave the hotel to order takeaway meals and even on occasions sit outside to dine at restaurants, however, measures have been tightened in response to the scare over a mutant strain of the virus in Brisbane.
Despite the extra precautions taken for the BBL, a decision was made on Friday that the Sixers-Heat match would not need to be moved, and it’s hoped a similar call will be made on next week’s fourth Test.
Decision expected Sunday
Cricket sources said they were expecting a decision on Sunday.
Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk indicated on Saturday that she had few doubts about the Test going ahead.
“Discussions are still happening and they’re still positive,” said the Premier.
India raised a series of queries with CA officials regarding their fears over quarantining measures, including whether police would be roaming the hotel and whether they would be confined to their floor and banned from eating together as a team.
CA has reassured them that none of those measures will be in place, with the only security presence outside the hotel, and players free to roam around the entire facility and eat together in team rooms.
India has remained mysteriously silent on the matter and CA will be anxious about final approval.
The lockdown measures in Brisbane which are due to lift on Monday should have no bearing on the Test match starting on Friday – with a reduction in crowd size perhaps the only conceivable threat.

Ashwin v Wade, oh boy. Can Wade resist trying to take on the spinner and go big again only to throw his wicket away?

Re: Australian International Summer 2020/21
Posted: Sun Jan 10, 2021 10:51 amJust realised India have a sub on for the keeper. That's new.
Anyone know when Pant can bat in India's second innings? I know they can't come in until an amount equal to the time they were off the field in Australia's second innings has elapsed, however I think that doesn't apply after a certain amount of wickets have fallen?

The sub keeper is not necessarily a new thing, the MCC changed the rules regarding having a substitute keeper in 2017-
https://www.cricket.com.au/news/wicketk ... 2017-04-12
From an article posted yesterday about India's injuries-
Only substitutes for a concussed player, a rule that was introduced in 2019, are able to bat, bowl or act as captain in place of the replaced player.
"It was felt that, if the original wicketkeeper was genuinely injured, then a substitute should be allowed to take over, but that the umpires should control the situation to prevent abuse," the Marylebone Cricket Club, the game’s law-makers, said at the time of the rule change.
"A substitute still cannot bowl, bat or act as captain."
Coincidentally, India were the first Test team to benefit from the new rule in 2018 when Dinesh Karthik donned the gloves in place of an injured Parthiv Patel during a Test against South Africa in Johannesburg.
More recently, West Indian Joshua Da Silva took the gloves from Shane Dowrich in a Test against England after Dowrich was injured.
I haven't seen or read anything yet in regards to how long Pant has to wait to bat in India's second innings.
Re: Australian International Summer 2020/21
Posted: Sun Jan 10, 2021 11:16 amThey were talking on Fox yesterday and Warne (?) said he had to bat 7 or lower but after some discussion I think (sorry) they arrived at the ruling that there is no restriction.
Re: Australian International Summer 2020/21
Posted: Sun Jan 10, 2021 11:28 amI was pretty sure it was 7 - I think the commentators mentioned it when the South Africans declared in Adelaide a couple of years ago so as to prevent Warner from opening.
Pant usually comes in at 6 (and Jadeja at 7) so it could become relevant.

She just commentates the game and doesn’t try and audition as a stand up comedian. Also isn’t a ‘know it all’ arrogant prick like most of the others.
