What's everyone's thoughts on the comp calling the game off before Saturday? I know there has been instances in the past where this has happened, and the day turned out fine for cricket (which to happen in round 1 would simply be diabolical) however it's pretty obvious looking at the radar we are pushing shi% up hill this week.
Would love the comp to do so, but even if it doesn’t I’ll be playing the rain card on Friday night!

I think you have to wait until Saturday morning, 10am at the latest to call it off otherwise report to grounds. If you find yourself in the situation where you are happy not to play then it's probably time to hang the pads up and sit at the bar.

B grade with only the 2 umpires this weekend, each Mash game have 2 umpires where as last year they only had the 1. Serious issue if you ask me. Each b & c game need 1.

Yep sure was. Was checking to see where my club was playing next Tuesday for the T20.

No idea HB, but it's virtually certain to happen within the DVCA this season.
Thankfully got some reserve days later in the year but we'd be stupid to think it's not going to happen, thankfully better conditions now for close contacts only needing to isolate until the negative tests.

Did i miss something.
Do batsmen in G Grade have to retire at 50.
I saw two batsmen (including Ray Kelsey) retire, but i saw one game in G2, where the team made 1/250+ with a batsmen making over 100.
What is the actual deal.

I’d imagine that N.E.W. Would lose their points in this game. Absolutely no excuse not to know the rules of the competition. It’s pretty straightforward, batsmen in G Grades must retire at 50 and only comeback once everyone has batted.

NEW had 2 players in g4 retire. So it’s not like the club didn’t know the rule. Result must be reversed.

Yep gotta retire at 50 in all G grade matches, I only found out when one of the guys in the opposition walked off after his 50. You can come back in after everyone else has batted. Apparently a couple of high grade players dropped down and made 150+ a couple of times last year and clubs had a sook about it so we get this knee jerk reaction that disadvantages many more players than the occasional "hero" who drops to G grade.

Fairly handy player for Holy Trinity tonight in the NRT20, G Maxwell
Hope the opposition puts some runs on the board so he can have a crack!
