With Josh Philippe moving from Sydneyâs bubble into the Australian T20 squadâs bubble on Sunday, the Sixers were unable to celebrate the win at a bar or pub - or even with family and friends - without ditching their star batsman.
So the united squad instead celebrated on their own at the ground and then in their hotel, and later veteran star Dan Christian proposed a group head down to Sydney Harbour to watch the sun rise in COVID-safe style that also wouldnât imperil Philipeâs status later in the day.
âIt was a nice reminder for us, as the players, to remember who we were representing, and what a brilliant city to represent,â captain Moises Henriques said on Sunday morning, after just five hours sleep.
