SA tour next month?

[Silly Point]

Looks like the SA board are trying to get their government to approve, but seems to be proving difficult.

Looks like they’ve got it all planned out with arrival on the 17th and three T20s and three ODIs in CT and Paarl, but government approval seems to be the issue. Hopefully it goes ahead

You can go. You just can't get in. And have to do all the self isolation stuff.

not sure I'd be allowed in the country!

to be fair few mates there said the lockdown there was particularly brutal.
least its some cricket to watch in the winter

It’s cricket on tv so it’s a positive thing. But, it feels absolutely crazy to set up bio bubbles, fly out a long way, quarantine etc for a maximum of 420 overs

at least play a 5 ODI series, you can use the rest days easily enough.

It's the month before Christmas so I've got more pressing things to spend money on tbh. I'm more gutted I'm not going to India in February.

Aye absolutely, saying on another thread, the ashes is very unlikely now, they wont take any chances over there.

christ, was that this year. dear me

I think to be fair SA need this or they will go bust bascially, was meant to be next March werent it?

 

[Silly Point]

Was going to do India this winter anyway so wouldn’t have been going to this one anyway. But it’s going to be tough seeing Cape Town and the mountains around Paarl again. Not going to lie
Shame it’s not somewhere else

Little did I know it back in January but that would be my only bastard holiday this year.
