Cricket Australia has attempted to offer its counterparts at Cricket South Africa a small olive branch of peace following their cancellation of the Test tour to the country by offering to repay CSA’s “out of pocket expenses” for the costs incurred in setting up the tour.
Hi manners. Being Australian supporter I must the excuse given by CA not to tour SA has been dubious to say the least. And after reading all the lengths that CSA was willing to make to accommodate the Australian team makes CA canceling not coming all the more absurd. Furthermore, I mean did CA not consult with South African medicalteam? as the cases of covid has been coming down quite alot.
What's more concerning if this carries how are the other cricket nations going to survive?
All other sports are going on in a BSE trying to get on with things its a real shame that we have cricket which is a wonderful sport having its member nations pick and choose to tour.
Hi Neil. Changing the subject, as maybe I should, there was a comment on Cricinfo this morning after the toss in Chennai to the effect that it was game over such was the condition of the pitch. Some years ago there was a trial in England doing away with the toss and offering the choice to the visiting team. Do you know what transpired?
CA trying to save some face. What a load of cr.p. I know where I would tell to stick their offer of pre tour “out of pocket expenses”. Never before have I heard such drivel. Who the hell do they think they are?
Probably effective work by CA's PR and legal people, you'd have to say. Proactively get ahead of the issue, making sure the statement passes muster at the ICC and that they don't acknowledge any fault, all while nipping a claim for compensation in the bud.
Probably won’t win a popularity contest for my views-I think that Australia,with their excellent Covid control record,were really uncomfortable about the risks in SA despite the lengths CSA went to to reassure them. My own family in Sydney are in a constant panic about my safety because of our high infection and death rates and poor media coverage . The England tour was a shambles (not sure whose fault) and this would also have scared them. Having said that they were not honest and up front with us and we were treated with total disrespect. To make matters worse they see CSA as a shambles. But we deserved the truth up front.
