Australian state border restrictions

Not true, their preference is still WA as TV ratings for Perth tests is through the roof in the Eastern states and the broadcasters are leaning on them.
A lot better financially to be in Perth and they will only move it if there isn’t a resolution.
CA also aren’t as keen on Hobart as it is the most similar surface wise to English pitches so would almost be a “home” test and it could be the decider.

I’m not so sure and I never discount emotion in decision making especially at CA 😂
We will see in time…

I'd have to agree with you. Attendances for Hobart matches this year have been poor - although they were scheduled badly wrt clashes etc and its so irrregular here that people haven't developed the habit of going to top-notch cricket. Poor crowds and lack of atmosphere is a drawback for broadcasters.

Perth tests are a winner because it’s prime time on the East coast for the last session and it was one of the main reasons they have pushed D/N cricket especially here in Adelaide.
 
I can't stand cricket, 5 days & a draw, what a hoot.

Rather be on a Rex scenic flight, middle seat with booking experience (error ridden) of Qantas & VA 2min noodles for main. And throw in a Kombucha to top it off.

I'll make some enquiries and see what can be organised for you...
 
Meanwhile - I received my email re early access to A OPEN tickets and will purchase Friday. Good Covid cancel refund conditions.
I presume people can come from all over Australia (I can’t keep up with the state dates/thresholds) and ???overseas by then.
I am pleased it is vaxed only and hope they hold firm on banning non-vaxed players as IMHO this is a poor public health message even if their risk is low. Hopefully certain players (who lead by example in antivax regard) will have their fans not in attendance.

They're all welcome to come. Whether their state allows them to return is the question.

Tennis used to be worth watching before the introduction of the ugly double-handed backhand, and until the AO was moved every year to the place which cannot be mentioned.

Of course I am from the same state as Rod Laver, Roy Emerson, Mal Anderson, Pat Rafter, Samantha Stosur and the wonderful Ashleigh Barty, who uses the double-handed backhand only when necessary. I have left out many players, but that is inevitable with so many from Queensland.
