I would love to see you do the fixtures for next season! A cricket match involves 2 teams. If there is an odd number of teams then you have a bye. So in an 11 team grade, there can only be 5 matches per round. 11 teams playing each other once adds up to 55 matches. As you can only have 5...

Are you taking the piss? 11 teams equals 5 matches and 1 bye per round.

Under your proposal each round would have a bye in each shield grade. But 2nds and below would not. Does that mean all the shield players can play in the seconds during the bye? How would the rule work? What if you’re a regular twos player, get put up to A grade for one round, but can’t go...

There are 20 Saturdays of home and away cricket. In a 12 team grade, that's 9 games x 2 days + 2 games x 1 day. This was the case in the DVCA when Toddy first pulled on the wrap-around sunglasses. First 2 games of the season were 1 dayers, then the remainder were 2 dayers. This led to...

It's pretty obvious that the DVCA Exec cancelled the game because they didn't want Laurimar to win. They have wanted Bundoora Park in Money Shield from the start and now they are using the Wuhan Virus hoax to make it happen. Put money on it - Bundoora Park to be promoted because they...

It was 12 months ago that a star all-rounder announced himself to the competition with his match winning performance in the semi-finals. What heroics can we expect from him tomorrow? And the big question, how does Eltham afford him?

You sure about that?

Looks like Lower Plenty will be in Mash next season.

Theres no umpire, so who’s stopping you?

Exactly. Whittlesea finished bottom of the ladder last season and Bundoora Park couldn't even bowl them out.

You get what you pay for. Big $$$ is the word around town.

I really wonder why a club would want him as a member. You know he will leave at the end of the season and a good chance that he will just quit half-way through the season at the slightest grievance. Thanks, but no thanks.

Toddy was just informed by someone high up at the DVCA that the fixture should be released on 10th of October.

Agree. Perhaps the DVCA should have spent less time on a new logo and more time finishing the fixture.

Monty is being dug up.

I've seen nothing around. I've been checking DVCA website and My Cricket. Toddy is usually a big defender of administrators, however the DVCA fixturing is ridiculous. It seems to be left to the last week or two to release. Other associations seem to release theirs much earlier. I don't know...

I'm against it. If you qualify for a final, you should be eligible to play in it, regardless of where else you have played.

Question: If a cricketer plays 4 games in the 3rd XI, then works his way up to a Shield Grade, can he drop back to the 3rd XI to play in the semi-final? Rule SA5 says that he can, "as he has played 4 matches in or below that grade" The new rule SA4 would indicate he can't - "Shield Grade...

Thanks. I couldn't see that on the website. Did they also release the gradings too?

Has the DVCA released the playing dates for 2019/20? Last season they did in about July / August. Toddy is trying to organise his calendar.
