As the captain on the day, I knew exactly what time we could go to, which is why it was decided that once we past 3 pm, it was too late to continue, and an early tea was not taken, it was simply served by your players, (and seeing that the bar / canteen was closed at your home ground, it was seen as a good idea to make some food available)
First of all any normal or half intelligent person knows our game gets affected by wet weather EVERY SINGLE YEAR!!! Have 2 sundays set aside, 1 before xmas, 1 after to replay any 1 dayers that get washed out under the 50% rule. At least then we wont have so many whingeing clubs, unintelligent captains or incompetent umpires screwing with what we all basically want to do - PLAY CRICKET!! 2 day games are different for many reasons. it is rare you have 2 saturdays in a row completely washed out and if u do then definetly a draw to all. But some games lose some overs, some lose a whole day. Most times a result (which means win, lose or draw) is reached. Whether a 160 over game turns into 120 or 110 or 100 or a 1 dayer the next week is not really relevant. Saturday was a debacle because of the innept and unprofessional nature of the dvca and these new players/clubs should be laughing their tits off!! I like and agree with the 50% rule so either wipe off the round as is, find a mutual understanding on the day (ie communication between umpires and dvca exec of how many games havent started by 3pm) or replay the round at a later date. And for those who already say 'oh i cant play on sunday for whatever reason - bad luck! if its arranged that way at the start of the season so all teams play everyone else, then stiff shit!!! at least we wont have to go through what happened on saturday again and it will save tongs writing a post in 6 months saying the round 1 fiasco cost eltham a finals spot!
Just stop champ. You're acting like a spoilt 5yo. If you want something changed, then get off your backside and change it, don't get on this or any other forum and whinge.
