Disappointing news folks – the #SAvAUS series, that was due to take place next month has been cancelled due to ongoing health risks #cricket

Can the @ICC come out and just be honest with the cricketing world and say who actually runs the show? It’s becoming an absolute farce. Cricket is gonna be a game played between 3 nations soon…goodluck growing the game then ?? #SAvAUS #Joke

Was very excited for #SAvAUS , labuschangne would have been playing test cric in his birth country first time, first time they would be going to SA for Test series after sandpapergate , also was eager to see if labuschangne could score in SA?

Australia canceling SA tour is very sad. You just can’t save test cricket like that. Don’t understand what’s the point of having Test Championship when it is not helping smaller countries like South Africa, Bangladesh and West Indies.

Last year, in the heart of Covid-19 unpredictability, Cricket Australia was happy to tour to England. CSA went out of its way to accommodate Australia for the upcoming tour. Disgraceful

12 rounds of de Kock vs Warner in the octagon now that the test series is called off?

I'd watch. @SuperSportTV @espn

Fantastic news for the @blackcaps !

Seems a sensible thing for Aus to have withdrawn from SA. But still perhaps surprising given they know they won't likely now make the WTC final- a rare example of CA putting the player welfare first?#WTC #SAvAUShttps://t.co/UJ824Y8dcM

Have to feel for @tdpaine36. No captain has spoken more often & more intently over the last two years about wanting his team to be at Lord’s for the World Test Championship final & now that’s no longer in his or his team’s control with the postponement of the #SAvAus series

— Bharat Sundaresan (@beastieboy07) February 2, 2021

I think that’s really quite insensitive if I may say so. There’s a global pandemic going on. People are dying. Health comes before cricket.

Unfortunately the right decision given the advice from smart traveller for Aussies to not travel overseas. The positive is that at least we'll get see Steve Smith and co play domestic cricket for their state sides and will make Shield and Marsh Cup tournaments interesting

The right decision unfortunately. Definitely can’t risk it.

"We feel we've done everything possible to get this tour underway." ?

"We could've pulled this off in a positive way." ?@OfficialCSA Director of Cricket Graeme Smith is disappointed to see their Test series with Australia postponed due to Coronavirus concerns. #SAvAUS [CSA] pic.twitter.com/zPtur1dtuL

CSA Director of Cricket, Graeme Smith "We are extremely disappointed by the decision of CA. CSA has been working tirelessly in recent weeks to ensure we meet every single expectation of CA. So to be informed about the CA decision at the eleventh hour is frustrating" #SAvAUS

CSA director of cricket, Graeme Smith – "It's frustrating to be informed at the 11th hour"

CSA have safely hosted SL & the Pakistan women's team with no complaints. #JustSaying #SAvAUS #cricket

"To be informed about the Cricket Australia decision at the eleventh hour is frustrating." – Graeme Smith, CSA Director of Cricket about Australian tour postponement. "Frustrating," is a very loaded word. Cricket SA is very, very angry with Cricket Australia.

Graeme Smith is an angry man and he is mincing his words over Cricket Australia's tour cancellation.

Financially speaking, this is devastating for @OfficialCSA. A cancelled lot of England T20s and now the cancellation of their biggest test series. World cricket needs to step up and provide financial support. NOW. #SAvAUS

— TheCricketMen (@thecricketmen) February 2, 2021

Cricket South Africa seems unhappy with Cricket Australia, terms Australia’s decision to postpone the tour as “regrettable” adding that it will have a serious impact on the sustainability of the less wealthy cricket playing nations.

— Faizan Lakhani (@faizanlakhani) February 2, 2021

What a blow to the rest of the South African cricket summer. That Oz tour was shaping up to be a really intriguing battle.
A lot of people have been working tirelessly to ensure that all health protocols are observed. Sent two squads to Pakistan, even.
Gutted.#SAvAus

— Squinting Quarantino (@whamzam17) February 2, 2021

After watching this video I'm utterly disgusted with @CricketAus deciding not to tour South Africa. The amount of money and effort @OfficialCSA has put in to make this possible is amazing!

For Australia to decide on 99 they're not touring!
