Wont be any cricket tomorrow unfortunately. Sanity should prevail and a call made tonight.

Absolutely ridiculous if it's called off. Back in my day we would have put some sawdust on the run ups and played 80 overs.

Tend to agree, people are softer these days

No reason to call it off early, forecasted for 30-40mm today and we’ve seen about 4mm.
Why not wait it out get some sort of game in! Dry the run ups and let’s get it going.

Not sure about you, but my rain gauge has 23mm.

 

[Warwick Todd]

I’m hearing that a few clubs were praying for rain. Took the gamble and didn’t forfeit their lowest grade on Thursday night hoping Saturday would be called off.

 

[burnerboy]

Looks like another 6-15mm this coming Saturday. Does the dvca look to using those “Covid reserve days” as actual reserve days. This is beyond a joke now

I’m hearing news that, big crickets favourite son has done a walk out on Heidelberg after being named in the 2s. Back to Eltham it is apparently

Surely not, why would anyone in their right mind go back there

If true, this is hilarious. Toddy did see that he was named in Heidelberg 2s but did not play. I’ve always found it funny that local cricketers who aren’t any good get upset at being dropped.

According to mycricket, the man in question has played 134 senior matches and never made a hundred. Also, only made 8 fifties. That’s one fifty every 16 matches, not even one a season! Maybe not as good as he thinks he is.

 

[Underarm28]

My money is that he will not play again this season.
