Indian team/team management’s poor record in bio bubbles

[maniac]

Krunal Pandya and a few others test positive in Srilanka. No Srilankan player tests positive.

 

Start of the England series, Pant and few others become positive or are isolated. No cases for England players

 

Towards the end of the England series, Ravi Shastri tests positive for Covid. No cases for England players.

 

Even in Australia there was a small controversy that was soon forgotten when few Indian players went out to eat and took selfies with a fan.

 

Not to forget the breaches during IPL

 

Someone needs to be held accountable. This doesn’t look like a one off and I only see Indian team or management in this mess compared to the opponents.

It happens mostly with the touring teams. England me to bubble hi nahi hai. In IPL, Chakravarty went to hospital for scans. No one really knows what happened in SL.

It’s happening more often with Indian teams. That’s the concern.

From reports I read, bio-secure bubbles during IPL 2021 were nowhere near as water-tight as 2020 season. Hence all those cases.

 

This virus is a wild card so really can't just blame BCCI or players here. England-RSA series got cancelled. Jofra Archer breached a bio-secure bubble. Even Sri Lankan players.

 

These issues have been there in other sports as well.

Why can't they have 30-35 day super striict biobubble enforced tours for just 3 test matches with a 4-5 day gap between each? Like it or not, this virus is going to be a factor for the foreseeable future. There's no point pretending like things are normal and scheduling several month long 5 match series.

It will be a miracle if BCCI survives both WT20 & IPl from Covid..  They need to enforce strictest possible bio bubble like they did in IPl 2020.

T20 WC isn't important for bcci

Nasser is on point.  Keyboard warriors won't get it. We ourselves started getting into depression with lockdowns confined to the rooms. It's not sustainable.

Would it reflect well on bcci if wt20 is called off midway due to covid breaches? Especially considering they are organising another world cup in 2 yrs time?

@maniac you are one of my favourites on this board. But your OP makes NO SENSE.

 

Why are we faulting the BCCI here? 

There was some streaker who got close to our players and our dugout on 2-3 occassions. No one in the crowd wore masks, from whatever little highlights that I have seen. Players were apparently hi fi-ing spectators as they went to the field from the pavillion. They mingled with the spectators while on the boundary and obliged them with autographs. This I have seen on vids on FB. ECB *did not* have an issue with any of this! And watch them act all holier than thou now. Basically passing on culpability.

 

How can you identify the cause of this infection to be the launch of that book? Pure conjecture on your part.

If the BCCI has any sense, if the IPL gets hit because of a covid outbreak, they should file a huge law suit against the ECB.

 

Hate BCCI and Ravi Shastri for all their flaws, but this is not on them.

I realize I have much stronger mental will than probably 99% of the world population but I have thrived during lockdowns. These last 18 months have been great professionally and mentally. It’s unfortunate so many people are weak and can’t take advantage of the opportunity to show resilience.

Very well and fair assessment of situation. That after 7 days we were scratching the walls is absolutely correct. In fact it goes so bad that i recall, we were only allowed a walk in car park and all the so called gentleman started behaving like how criminals behave in prison, like picking fight with guards as soon as they came and said something we shouldn’t be doing like not maintaining safe distance or drinking or too many people  gathered

Is that why they refused to let it be moved to any other country and instead preferred the option of hosting it themselves in UAE?

Those intruders and crowd was for everyone. 
 

Every Indian player has been testing negative since the series started. Obviously there was some concern at the start of the series.

 

No one in the English camp has tested positive

 

The first one to be positive was the coach followed by few members of the coaching staff that probably convene regularly for admin meetings  etc 

 

There was an event that preceded the test match after which people started getting positive.

 

So tell me is it more practical to conclude that the events between the matches caused all this or people contracted covid during the match.

 

There isn’t any conclusive evidence but what’s your opinion?
