South Africa's covid-19 situation is like a raging inferno, compared to the Caribbean. If anything, the WI people and players were at greater risk of contracting covid-19 from the South African team, than the other way around. Getting to the Caribbean, however, would have required stops in many high-risk airports and countries.
Anyway, I still think RSA was not, and never, truly committed to engaging WI after WI fell by the wayside in international cricket.

No one will be willing to play against WASTEUNDIES when all this pandemic shite ends. They are knowing the reality of WASTEUNDIES situation and more importantly its not financially viable to play against WASTEUNDIES as it draws no revenue.
DEDING WID LAF ON SKUNTS WHO SAY, PEOPLE COME TO WATCH WASTEUNDIES SKUNTS. BIG FALSE STATEMENT FROM SELF OBSESSED WASTEUNDIES CAVE AGE SKUNTS.

Yep, the Caribbean was far safer than RSA up to last week.
With the virus positive cases rising in several countries, its probably wise now to hold off on Intl tours.
Whither CPL now with these T&T cases?
In reply to Norm
Well said.
I'm still sad, though.

A bio secure environment is as safe as being quarantine in your bedroom. South Africa under Smith as Director of Cricket (rather unfortunate he has this position) was never keen to tour as he wanted his players in the IPL for two reasons:
1. Money for his players
2. Win brownie points with Ganguly and the BCCI.
It would have been best for Smith to state so publicly since everyone knows this, he at least would have been honest. COVID-19 is simply an excuse.
All the talk about preserving Test Cricket is just talk.
The IPL should have been cancelled. Shame on the BCCI.
