My favourite cricket commentator Isa Guha announced on Foxtel that a gold coin ($1 or $2) is all that's required for entry to day 5 of the 4th Ashes Cricket Test at the SCG, with all proceeds donated to the McGrath Foundation. An incredibly cheap day out for the family. Please stay safe, and enjoy :)

  • Australia 1st innings - 8/416 declared
  • England 1st innings - 10/294
  • Australia 2nd innings - 6/265 declared
  • England 2nd innings - 0/30

To win: Australia requires 10 wickets. England requires a further 358 runs.

        Will there be? watched big bash last few nights and looks like only 1000 people in the crowd

        • peternow on 08/01/2022 - 18:20

          Largely because they have been massively rescheduled and have played a few games at neutral grounds.

            @peternow: Big bash is a joke, basically a spruced up domestic comp with domestic players. It has gone downhill ever since Chris Gayle and other big name west indies players left.

            @hippyhippy:

            get *on with [their] lives

            Viral infections are more transmissive than others, and usually mutate rapidly. But on the bright side they're easier to disinfect and treat. This compared to outbreaks of bacteria, fungi, or archae.

            So the faster you have transmission, it means sooner it mutates, which can render your vaccines or treatments less effective.

            The real issue comes when you have acute disease, but aren't able to manage it, due to a shortage of staff, supplies, and hospital spaces. So the best way to combat a Viral Pandemic, in general, is actually through social distancing… masks, hygiene, and vaccines help too. As a side note, we had a novel pandemic a century ago we dubbed "Spanish Influenza" and that has undergone many mutations and we have been unable to eradicate it. It is still around to this day, and we now simply call it "the flu". Since the original pandemic, it has caused four separate other pandemics, and is tipped to cause another one. The corona virus is also novel to humans, and draws many parallels to it.

            Other types of outbreaks have other tactics and solutions. Don't listen to your politician or internet crowd, get advice from a trusted doctor (otherwise, you can consult academia experts like an active Professor in a respected University).

        The Plague took centuries to stop being a pandemic; it took out a fair chunk of the population in Europe on the way through.

        On the plus side the lack of workers did result in a significant shift in the feudalism system. It might be a way to deal with the casualisation of the workforce.

    England still has to negotiate 6 overs to ensure the final day's play. It's not beyond them to wrap it up in that time.

    Pretty awesom value. If the weather permits will either get to see 10 wickets fall or watch England save a test match against the odds.

    Absolute bargain. Free COVID and another English collapse? The plus side is that the innings might not last long enough to have the virus transmitted to you.

      Nothing in life is without risk. You assess the risk, you manage the risk. It’s a test. And at the end of five days, it’s not whether you win or lose that counts — it’s how you play the game.
