Dvca - How Do We Make It Better?

[CLOCKER]

Why don't we just piss this stupid 'ordinary conditions' rule right off.

Here's what we do. Lose more than 30 minutes play, the game goes to max 6.30pm. The overs the side batting first get (assuming a compulsory close) is what the side batting second gets. If side batting first is dismissed prior to 6.30pm AND 30 minutes had been lost during the innings, then the normal over calculation applies and the side batting second gets those overs. Don't complicate things with 'innings changeover time' and all that garbage just use minutes remaining. Simple.

This whole losing more than 20 minutes, only playing to 6, option of declaring, playing for a draw is BS. Its dead set archaic and not in sync with playing for a result. In games of senior cricket at this level clubs should NEVER have the option of playing for a draw.

You lost me after Here's what we do.

Theres no umpire, so who’s stopping you?

Except if there is a ground next door with umpires, you'd probably get reported. We got pinged a few years ago for not setting up when a game was heated out because the umpires at the ground next door potted us.

Lucky you're not a captain

Someone suggested that the organisers of the T20 comp should look at the weather forecast and if it looks bad, take some initiative and reschedule the match for another night during the week to ensure a game is played.

Sitting here right now listening to the hail, I think he might be on to something.....

 

[Clive Rose]

Where are you getting hail? I'm in Watsonia and it's perfectly fine...

 

[_Blackhawk_]

Bundoora, absolutely pelted down with hail.

 

[Renegadesfan]

Why don't you encourage primary school students to take up cricket.

 

[Brick Hands Magee]

People bad mouth the comps for not calling games early/night before.... this is exactly why!

The hail must have jumped over Watsonia to Greensborough.

Annoying that it affected so many T20 matches...

Yep then I went down to Sizzler for an afternoon snack.

Start all matches at 12.30pm, every round, not just the first couple and the last before Christmas.

Since the last T20 (Dec 10) the next round of T20s have not been released.

I note the DVCA have just shared the CV guidelines for playing/training in smoke. https://www.cricketvictoria.com.au/cricket-guidelines-for-smoke-affected-environments/

Wonder if they will make a call for the weekend?

Probably too early to tell for the weekend, hopefully this rain clears things up a bit and helps put out the fires.
