So how did it happen in a bio-secure bubble? Kohli-Shastri did black magic?

Yes, people are just Guessing uselessly. It may have been contracted in hotel itself.

Yes but when there is a clear open breach and then a positive test, questions will be asked

 

You realize there is billions of brand values at stake right? This is not a homework missed where you make excuses, oh others also didn't do homework.  My dog died. Could happen to anyone 

 

BCCI and sponsors will be big time pissed. This is not pakistani cricket.  You are thinking like juveniles, when billions are at stake no excuses work and people look for scape goats.

Woah! Do you have an insider source in the team? Clown-Bewada were involved in the team strategy from UK (Dravid said it not me). Your source has finally laid bare the truth regarding the covid cases in SL

Tonight's player reports may come out negative but things can flare up in the middle of the test match, maybe day 3 or 4 when the match is delicately poised. Not fair on English players as well. Best for everyone if this test is cancelled, ticking time bomb now. And even IPL will be affected if we go ahead with the test. Not wise.

As the other person said, no team manager can stop kohli or shahstri. Also jay shah wrote directly to them

So why don't the BCCI fire that team manager along with Kohli and Shastri? Why does that person even have a job? Is BCCI stupid to hire someone who can't do his/her job?

 

If the event was organized without ECB permission, then the BCCI and their appointed team manager are equally culpable. It's that simple. Kohli-Shastri don't have the ECB on speed dial.

Kohli Shastri know the rules as contracted staff. Jay shah also wrotr to the. directly. No mstter how you twist it, they are not ignorant people but knew the guideliens

 

You are not a visa approval officer. But when you need a visa, onus is on you to approach the consulate or agency or what ever procedure is needed. You cannot blame the officer or agency for not getting valid visa before travelling 

 

Like visa agencies, team managers are there to facilitate players and staff  not spoon feed them or hold their hands or monitor their movements

BCCI is angry with Shastri and Co that violated Covid guidelines and attended a book launch and later all coaches tested positive. Ganguly made his reactions clear at a book launch in Kolkata

As expected, no sensible reply. Please give me a serious answer.

 

Again I ask, how did the bio-secure bubble get breached in Sri Lanka?

Totally agree. In these times, life is more precious. Sports can happen after life is secure

First talk about 'black magic' and then expect sensible replies!

 

Keep asking and don't forget to thank your SOURCE who told you about black magic.

Tbh I am surprised that this didn't happen before. UK is open now and AFAIK there are no mask madates. Even if the players were in a bio bubble, we cannot protect them from the crowd and ground staff, especially with idiots like Jarvo. 

 

There is also a chance that any one of the Playing XI is asymptomatic now and can get positive result on second or third day. Playing cricket, intense physical sport with covid is a disaster. Better to cancel the match

Poor analogy. 

 

An event like Shastri's book launch requires ECB permission and approval. Seeking this approval and permission is not Kohli-Shastri's job. It's that simple. There is no twist. This is common sense. Shastri cannot call the ECB chief and be like, "Listen bhidu, apun ka mast book launch honewaala hai. Mast naa dhoke aana, theek hai." The team manager has to green light these things. Otherwise there is no point in the position and BCCI is just wasting money.

It was a question Einstein. There is a reason why I used a question mark though I'm hardly surprised you couldn't comprehend. Seems like your username adequately reflects your lack of comprehension skills.

ECB wants BCCI to forefeit 5th test as per TOI

Edited September 9, 2021 by mishra

Forfeit the test? Are they crazy? Least they can request is to finish the series at a later date. BCCI must put ECB in its place now.

If report on TOI is even partly true then it is definitely new low by ECB

Which is an apt punishment for the Jokers Kohli & Shastri, even if it’s unreasonable…
