I was woken on Tuesday morning by a call from a colleague in Sydney. The Australian tour of South Africa was about to be officially called off. Such was the dread of the news, I had to ask whether he was sure. “I’m afraid so, mate.” For weeks there was cynicism about the Australian players’ desire to come to South Africa. Vice-captain Pat Cummins expressed significant reservations about visiting the Republic over a month ago. But ultimately, we are told, the decision was taken out of Cricket Australia’s hands. Medical advice from further up the governmental food-chain put paid to their visit.
Hi Neil, good to r dad in good shape. Can tell me how to stream your commentary on the web. What channel or website I could use to listen. The Aussies can make me laugh given the current situation in Melbourne with their COVID problems regards Eddie Norton RSA
Neil, it is with initial disappointment, turning to frustration and finally mild anger learning of Cricket Australia's decision to suddenly withdraw from the tour to South Africa. Can you imagine, roles reversed, the uproar if SA did the same to Auz. Perhaps they are afraid that they will be found out again and caught cheating as cheating in in the Auz psyche ? "Decision is out of their hands" excuse is laughable - my young 16 yr old son is laughing at that one as well.
You need to get the IPTV box I have, it is a thing of beauty, living in Dubai and I get channels from all over the world including DSTV and it runs off about 4 or 5 Mbps. I take it wherever i travel to - and you get it all on your phone, Ipad and laptop.
Good luck for the rest of the tour, are your broadcasts streamed - please send link !!

Is the Whizz involved? The double act of Manners and the Statsman (how's that for a rap duo) on radio2000 was always a treat.
