Glad they got their priorities sorted.

Laws are for ordinary people Jimmy. You should know that.

Maybe they've realised their tournament needs him more than ever this year now Fed has gone and Nadal is struggling to find form recently.

That will be the reason completely but it’s still not right.

Why bother making stupid laws you mean?

Depends how they handle him, I guess. Seems reasonable as long as precautions are put in place.

 

[martinlumley]

no-vac cination.

What type of precautions?

 

[zwartekat]

What type of precautions?

No idea.

Perhaps isolation when not playing. Can't say I'm particularly bothered one way or another.

I have lingering, totally unsubstantiated doubts about Mr D.

It would not surprise me if at some point in the future these issues emerge.

Won in Adelaide today, what a difference a year makes.

There was an ozzie playing in the last test match of the series against South Africa who was actually POSITIVE with Covid yet Djokovic wasn't allowed to enter the country with a negative test. Just shows what an utter shambles the whole situation was last year caused by the government tying itself into knots with silly rules and bowing to public pressure.

Or that things change over the course of a full year.

How was it safe for a person who had covid to be playing cricket yet it wasn’t safe for a bloke who had a negative test to play tennis?

Maybe we know more about the illness and how it's transmitted now than a year ago. Maybe they have better protocols in place now than a year ago? Maybe you can more easily socially distance in cricket than you can in tennis?
