Liam: Well Australia managed to come away with a pretty good result against the English in the recent one-dayers mate. What did you reckon?
Speedy: I think we did well to go over there and beat them. They won the Twenty20 2-1 and then we won the one-dayers by the same margin. What's next for the Aussies?
Liam: There is a one-off test against Afganistan, which I think is meant to be in Perth, and then we take on the Indians.
Speedy: Did I hear somewhere that we are only playing two tests against the Indians?
Liam: I believe it is the regular four.
Speedy: That's good because when I read that we were only playing two, I was a bit annoyed about that, so I'm glad they have set up four.
Liam: There will be four tests followed by three one-dayers starting on the third of December.
Speedy: Do you think we will have the traditional Boxing Day and New Years tests?
Liam: They are pencilled in at this stage but who knows what the restrictions with COVID-19 will be at that stage mate I don't think anyone has delved that deep into their crystal balls.
Speedy: Isn't it such a weird thing to be watching sport whether it be NRL or AFL or other major sporting events in front of no crowd
Liam: It is one of the things I have wondered about since sport resumed because of the impact that the crowd has on the game. The reaction that players get from the crowd can give them the lift they need at the vital moment
Speedy: How can you get yourself worked up for a fight in that situation. I don't know the feeling, but I can imagine it is a weird feeling.
