At least there is one aspect of professional sport I will be able to commentate authoritatively on in eight days time. International travel and self-isolation. I am delighted to have been invited to commentate on the four-match India/England Test series for talkSPORT radio and have committed 100% to the tour. Covid protocols make traveling to India impossible so the series, which also includes three ODIs and five T20 Internationals, will be covered off TV in the station’s London studios.
Covid is not for sissys. You need to be careful Neil, I have numbers mate here in Dubai who have been hospitalised. Hospitals here in Dubai are now too under pressure - and Dubai is doing well relatively to the rest of the world. So count the walls and if necessary the fibers on the carpets....and soon you'll be out - but that's a first - a commentator travelling to London to commentate on a series in Pakistan from a studio? Could they not patch you in from a Cape Town studio to the same live pictures and a feed of the other commentators - would have been a lot simpler and nightlife in LONDON cannot be too great right now either. Stay safe. Too many people I know are sick and a couple have died - who are / were otherwise fit and in early 50's.
