I guess they don't miss him when it's just a normal tour?

Secondly, what's their fascination with the letter "I"? 3 kids, 3 girls, all beginning with the letter "I".


Insert joke about every sentence davy says starts with 'i' so it naturally followed when he was asked what to name the kids.

Both Hussey's are over there.

I don't like Warner but why is he a flog for posting something his daughter did for him? He hasn't whinged or complained (unlike Slater) and they have said they will wait until they are allowed to return home, more people falling for clickbait! :roll:

Here's an idea, don't f*ck off to one of the most impoverished nations on earth to commentate on some cricket when the world is in the midst of a global pandemic. Stiff shit, I say.

He's given it "It's what I do for a living", I don't reckon you need the coin that bad little man.
Australians can return from India, just have to spend 14 days in another country first. Slater is sitting at a resort in the Maldives for 2 weeks and will return home after that


#prayforslats
That's the thing now, they are spending some time in the Maldives before returning home, yeah I get it is at there cost but the coin they are taking back from the IPL it really is a small price.

As Booney said it was pretty clear to all how India were going l and the BCCI only pushed on with this due to the $$$ involved, they probably knew it would all come unstuck at some point but $$$.

Anyway the travel ban is lifted in the 15 th or they spend 14 days in the Maldives.

We've banned "ALL" return travelers from India, you can't just let some in and not others just because they play sport.

Don't keep up?

The likely hood of the hotel system being inundated with positive cases increases the risk of transmission into the community and potential burden on the health care system. He chose to leave, f*ck him.

Like someone said, it's like going to war and complaining about being shot at. Don't have to be very smart to work out it was a stupid idea to go to India.

Lets not forget they got special treatment already when they were given the heads up the ban was coming. Hence the 4 that did the right thing and came home as soon as they were warned.

And as for these comments about them being 'trapped' in india, no they aren't, they just can't come here. They are free to go to a number of other locations.
the guy who is now taking the government to court, he's been there for 14 months! This isn't someone who had to go there on short notice and can't get home, he bloody lives there!

Warner had $2.186m (less 15% tax) reasons to risk it.

That should get him a nice 14 day holiday somewhere before he rushes home (in 1st class) to his distraught daughter

These cricketers are really pissing me off with their attitudes.

They went over there to chase the millions, the risk in India was always huge. The gamble hasn't paid off, but at least their not stuck sitting in the slums instead stuck in five star hotels, stuck in Maldives, drinking, netflixing, gambling all day every day.

The fact they think they are so hard done by is the pinnacle of arrogance and entailment. I'm at a point these days were I feel the Australian cricket team doesn't represent me or the country I believe Australia is whatsoever.

Wankers...….albeit a small selected few such as Cummins.

Not convinced all the pleas coming from the Warner camp in particular his partner aren't on his behalf.

The UAE is the back up venue for the T20 World Cup, they could make up for last year's cancellation and have it here in Australia!!

Probably the same as a conversation with Sonny Bill Williams
