Aussies v. Black Caps. ODI Series.

...
Kane Richardson is out and being tested for coronavirus. (I bet it comes back negative.)
...

Yup. Negative.

Now Lachie Ferguson is being tested for coronavirus. (I guess this'll probably be negative too.)

What happens if they test positive? Do they make them field at fine leg for 14 days?

"Australia’s international summer is over after the New Zealand government tightened its border restrictions in the wake of the COVID-19 global pandemic.

With New Zealand to enforce a mandatory 14-day self-isolation period for those entering the country from midnight tomorrow, the Black Caps were making arrangements to fly home on Saturday evening.

It means the remaining two Chappell-Hadlee matches, scheduled for Sunday in Sydney and Hobart on Friday, have been called off"

Disappointing. Now, we'll have to wait for months to find out whether Australia can develop a lower middle order.

Dead set, the ACB couldn't organise two shoes in a shoe box.

These ODI's should have been and gone by February.

Utter ineptitude. How do they keep their jobs?!

Sports admin looks like a get-rich-quick scheme for a privileged group of people who protect each other. Just look at R. Castle and Rugby Australia. They destroy one sports organization, but then with no effort at all get higher-paying jobs at another. If you look in the ball tampering thread, you'll see all sorts of cringe-worthy stuff about Amarfio... but after his CA sacking, he's ended up with a cushy job at North Melbourne.

Despite earlier reports to the contrary, there is one cricketing gun in the Williamson family. Sandy drops nothing at first slip (unlike Kane):
