Yes, it has been a very long time now they have been in quarantine first with IPL and now with the Australian summer time. But it is the identical with the Australian groups, we’ve not heard them bitch they usually’ve simply received on with it. To me, it simply appears to be like like they’re attempting to not play on the Gabba,” he added.

With stories coming in that the Indian crew is just not too eager to journey to Queensland, the state’s Health Shadow Minister Ros Bates stated: “If the Indians don’t need to play by the principles, don’t come.”

They seem to have a fair bit of power over people. It comes down to probably what the Queensland government’s going to allow them to do … But I can’t see India not getting their way, to be honest with you,” Symonds stated.

Meanwhile, each the edges are gearing as much as play the third Test of the collection, scheduled to begin from January 7 on the SCG. The four-Test collection is presently tied at 1-1 after India bounced again following their Adelaide horror to register a complete eight-wicket victory on the MCG within the Boxing Day Test.
