Tim Paine just wants his ticker tape day before they make Steve Smith captain again. Quite funny his state team cried and went home to their rock after someone sneezed in Perth,

its a long tour so i can see why this is so important for the players to make the right decision for their families and mental health.

Tim Paine needs to wind his neck in on the subject, the aussies havent played an away match of any sort during covid so they cannot criticize anyone.
2021: Australia have travelled to The Caribbean, Bangladesh and New Zealand to play some sort of International cricket.
            2020: Australia travelled to England in September to play ODI’s.
Granted Tim Paine wasn’t chosen but there were a few other Australian cricketers that travelled internationally to play for their country during covid.

Don't let the facts get in the way of a good story @Hoover

One cant deny that Aus did do a few overseas tours, but werent all of them short period stays involving ODIs or T20s? I dont remember any of the tours lasting really long and have test cricket involved!

When is the last time you looked at a map of Australia?

It was more broadly a joke. I'm sure there are more stringent protocol to follow than one person having a sniffle on the other side of the country.

Even before the pandemic, Australia has been more prominent than most at picking and choosing its tours.

This doesn't seem particularly positive news for the tour going ahead

I suppose no Ashes means we'll get some sleep this winter through the night...

If you have read between the lines of the last ECB paragraph we are not prepared to send an under strength squad. So either the players get the details they need or postponement.

My money is on a rescheduled tour, not sure how that works with England’s packed schedule for 2022.

I am sure supporters on both teams want the Ashes played with the best available squads with supporters of both teams present - it's what the Ashes deserve. The ECB update implies this and suspect it will get pushed back a year assuming its possible to do so.

If it is postponed the ECB should send a team of sorts to Pakistan for a short 7 to 10 day ODI tour or a one off test. Less bubble impact as a quick in  and out.

A sneeze. Along way from Brisbane.

The Aussie sense of humour doesn't seem to be improving much. :o

There are so many obvious jokes about an understrength England team given its performance over the last three or four years...
