Coronavirus

How people feeling about international sport at the moment now?

Sadly this will never happen :slightly_frowning_face:

Frustrated at our inability to bowl India out on day 5 in Sydney.

Thoughts on Siraj’s complete bullshit, @aussiegooner?

Did he (Siraj) issue an apology?

Funnily here, in Australia, we require permits just to travel BETWEEN states.

Very happy about it, actually!

Your government has been class tbf apart from the having to wear a mark to take the bin out thing

Oh absolutely - but Australia isn’t called the nanny-state for no reason.

We have A LOT of laws/rules, and subsequently we abide by them.

The romantic reasoning also, is that mateship and community here is a VERY big thing, far bigger than I ever cared to realise. So I think a lot (not all) of people just do the right thing to help the other guys and gals…

Yeah I would if had a government in control on international travel. As we don’t and Europe is in a high rate of infection hope it gets cancelled. It was devalued last season and will be this. Hope it’s scrapped and we plug one more hole of possible infection.

Can’t imagine the Lions or the Poms would have any objections coming to Australia to play.

Reminds me of the 2000 Olympics when half the Sierra Leone team went missing 2 days before their flight back home… Not sure if we ever found them.

Man bizarre given the reports it seems he completely overreacted and he should be apologising to fans for getting them ejected.

Think the comment was ā€œWelcome to Sydney Shiraz!ā€ After he just got his last two balls belted for sixes.

I know he’s had a rough 24 hours with this father’s funeral, but there’s no need to be deceptive and petty.

I can bare watching right-wing psychopaths on Twitter justify the Jan 6 Riot, but I had to get off Twitter after watching the Indians continue to talk shit even after the NSW police released their statement that it was not racist, or even racially-involved.

Different media reports here though. As per the players’ account there was a lot of racist chatter in between the mocking coming from one section of the ground on both Day 3 and Day 4.

Calling him ā€œbrown dogā€ and ā€œwhy so blackā€ is as racist as it gets and if there truth in it, then he has every right to feel aggravated.

He’s a video doing the circles. The audio is not very clear, but can hear the racist comments. Make up your own mind.

0.7 - 0.9 - ā€œbrown dogā€
0.17 - 0.19 - ā€œMr. Siraj, so blackā€

Hard to hear clearly from that.

Poor form from the spectators if those comments were said, I’m all for strong witty banter but not needless unwitty comments such as those.

Community pharmacists to start offering the COVID vaccine is brilliant news.

You work in a pharmacy right. Any news on when this may get rolled out?
