Diamond creek or Research ?
Thoughts on relegation

Interesting few weeks coming up. Riverside look a cut above but finals are a different kettle of fish so any of the top 5 winning it wouldn't suprise

Epping giving Henkel and saying "money talks" is the most ironic thing we we see all year

A bit of carry on. Was mentioned no less than 3 times as he was walking off.

What an embarrassing club. Their 2s got done outright with 8 available players. Josh did the right thing but getting the f&$k out of there

Him playing at Epping was an odd move anyway.

Who gets the last spot in the finals?
Macleod or Bundoora?
Macleod in the drivers seat but have a tough finish.
Bundoora might only need to win 1 game to get in

North eltham v Macleod next week is pretty big.

He got offered good coin to play there. Can’t blame him from moving on. There was a bit of chirp towards him by his old teammates.

any insight to what $ he was/is on? hearing $10 a run is fairly standard

God there stupid rules in DVCA cricket. Why the hell don’t games on day one play til 6.30pm. Too many games stopped at 5.00pm with 10-20 overs to go. Ridiculous.

With 90 minutes of sunny weather going to waste.

We in the lower grade decided we would play our overs. We just kissed afternoon tea. We ended up getting our overs in by 5.00pm

Rules should be there to ensure the maximum number of overs are played in the day.

PS how cold was it today. Definitely a two jumper day.

Clubs will whinge, but will anyone put it in writing? Doubtful

Comp doesn’t need clubs to help them make commonsense decisions. The DVCA has enough people with cricket knowledge to see that those games that were still playing at 5.00pm could have gone for another 90 minutes to get their overs in.

 

[The Long Room]

Any time a first day does not play 80 overs is ridiculous.
Unless you lose 10 or more overs due to rain / heat they should extend play.

Anyone know why 3 points were awarded to Bundoora and Heidelberg halfway through the round - listed as match drawn ?

Probably because the scorer entered it in as match abandoned so the grouse system will assume exactly that even though it’ll be a one dayer next week.

Yes, the scorer that was using the IPad should have used the “Actions..” button in the bottom right of the scoring screen and either applied “stumps” to close day one, or entered “Break” then “Rain Delay”.

For those that want to know how to do it, see the escoring FAQ’s below …
