I signed up to Virgin 4 years ago because they had the Ashes on BT. I’m pleased that it’s now back on BT/Virgin. Sky have dominated cricket over the last few years. Winners and losers.

In fairness, sky have pumped in plenty of money, and their coverage and technology is excellent. Presumably BT is also very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t remember any issues with the broadcasting though. From memory, they did a pretty good job last time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayjayoghani Posted November 27, 2021 Author Share Posted November 27, 2021 Think BT Sport are broadcasting Australian commentary, Fox Sports but the problem there is they've got Michael Vaughan on the team. As he's rapidly morphing into the anti-Christ they're on about switching to Channel 7 commentary instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myself and my wife have the exemption as M is a permanent resident. Unfortunately’ my older son isn’t able to go as he doesn’t fit the criteria. In the last couple of days, they’ve changed the rules and we have now to self quarantine for 3 days when we get there. Hopefully, it won’t get any worse than that. Hope for the best but ready for the worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping that the further relaxation of restrictions from 1st Dec. (Now delayed) would allow other family members later in the month. Doesn’t look likely now. As it’s the cricket thread, I’ll take him to the Windies instead. 🤞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impossible because WA insist on a 14 day quarantine period. There isn’t a 14 day gap between any test, max 6 days. Surprised it’s taken so long to make a decision.

Don’t think England were keen on the 14 day isolation. There was talk of it being cancelled if they had to quarantine. Just read further regarding Smiley’s point about switching the 2nd Test with the last. If they travelled from Queensland after this Brisbane Test, they wouldn’t have to quarantine as rates are low there.
