My initial thought is that they shouldn't be in the squad in the first place if they know the birth is likely to be during the match. I don't think they should be dropping everything and leaving a job half done.


That said, I definitely don't think they should be expected to miss the birth of their child, you wouldn't be in most jobs.

I'm sure the wives don't think its unprofessional. Giving birth is not easy - although I have not tried it, it certainly doesn't look easy.

Well the answer would be that if you know you?re having a baby you shouldn?t go on tour then.


But what team wouldn?t want a player like Shane Warne or Kevin Pietersen there for at least 3 out of five tests if possible. Trouble is when you let them do it then you have to let the Ashley Giles? of this world, who you could probably live without, do it to.


Should the women?s team be given time off to give birth?

Keef - in my old job it was said you could be present at conception or birth but not both

PGC - have been following Warwickshire for a long time now. First ever game was a John Player League match against Kent somewhere in the mists of time.

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
