fans have defended the ipl on social media saying it's a welcome distraction from doom and gloom.australian newspaper in melbourne. thank you forjoining us. you are probably watching every ball, as you have to do, but there are some players even who have decided that this perhaps is not the right thing to do. it has been a strange and eerie feeling watching the ipl season because the grounds are empty but there is a pretense that nothing is going on outside that there is no reason for the tournament to be taking place under these circumstances did a it has been referred to only cursorily. over the last few days finally commentators and players have begun to acknowledge the awfulness of theissue acknowledge the awfulness of the issue and some players have begun to feel both insecure about their place in the tournament on the right fullness of continuing under these circumstances. it fullness of continuing under these circumstances. it does feel as if _ these circumstances. it does feel as if the _ these circumstances. it does feel as if the broadcasters i feel as if the broadcaster

i went to the ipl into by and we hosted india for the indian summer hero.i was lucky enough to go to new zealand and play for the aussie turn. so there is hope that we can still continue to do ourjobs and travel around the world. andrew tye speaking to ali mitchell. time now to bring you up to date with what's happening at the world snooker championship at the crucible and world number onejudd trump has a battle on his hands against 2005 champion shaun murphy — it's fourframes all after the afternoon session. australia's neil robertson is looking for his first world title since 2010 — he's 5—3 up against last year's beaten finalist kyren wilson. that one resumes at 7 o'clock tonight. mark selby, has the advantage over mark williams of wales after the first session of their match — the �*jester from leicester�* is 6—2 up in that one. and anthony mcgill, who knocked out ronnie 0'sullivan in the last round, is giving stuart bingham a run for his money. mcgill won the last frame of the morning session to square the match at four—all. they'll start again at seve

the other thing about the bcci which runs the ipl is that it has close links to the bjp.ated , related by blood ties to some of the senior figures in the bjp and it has almost become a bit of an arm of the indian government. so in some respect it has had to move in alignment with the government which has been slow to realise the scale of the disaster. there is another side to this, obviously. india is a cricket loving nation and probably extremely welcome distraction for many people at a difficult time. if you cut off something like this itjust adds to that oppression of what is going on in the country, possibly. it also keeps people at home and they are being encouraged to do that. the argument in favour of the ipl continuing is mainly that it would make no difference for it to cease at this point. there would still be a pandemic in india there would just be no cricket to distract us from it. at the same time, however, there is i think a growing disquiet about the resources being ploughed into the ipl to keep the show on the road and the fact that, essentially, this is a

the ipl starts tomorrow in mumbai. let's go to the olympics.he may continue in gymnastics until the paris 2024 games. the american said she would retire after the tokyo olympics, however, two of her coaches are french and may have persuaded her not to rule it out. biles also said she was making every effort to get her family to tokyo, despite no foreign spectators allowed. she also emphasised how important it was to have the vaccine. i have not been one to make it my time, i would like to be vaccinated, i think it is up to athletes to become advocates for that so we can stay safe and healthy. and we can have a good game. and i think it will be really exciting once the time comes, so deftly approve a being vaccinated. ifeel time comes, so deftly approve a being vaccinated. i feel very confident it is going to happen and it is going to be a good game. definitely never competed without my family there and i have showed how my mum is going to get a credential or the media or something, she is going to be something to be there. i just never not have
