Anyone know if college football is going to be on Foxtel this season?
Was looking forward to seeing Notre Dame play in a conference for the first time ever.


First game shown on fox is this coming Tuesday afternoon (the 8th of sept) BYU v Navy.

Sunday the 13th there is a heap of games being shown...i think Iowa state is one of the games.

If just 1 game gets underway today then all games are 2 day games. Even the ones with no play today. The games with no play today would just be 112 overs to be bowled. No restrictions, no declarations.

Woodville v Glenelg already abandoned today from what I heard from a Glenelg contact.

Abandoned due to wet pitch from what I heard

Currently watching the Kayo Sports coverage of the Victorian Super Slam Grand Final.
I feel SACA misses a trick sometimes to promote premier cricket.

Did the Woodville captain get reported? appealed and got more games than original sanction

He definitely got reported.
Not entirely sure what he did though.

I think I heard 6 players got reported last round.


I may have been told a lie.
Looks like only 3 players reported according to SACA website.
2 were in 1st grade.

Where do you find the list of reports?


SACA website:

That link should be the correct page

16 overs were bowled by Kensington in the first 90 minutes on Sunday.

If they continued that over rate for a full day, they’d bowl 63 overs - 33 overs less than the 96 required.

Any investigation into that?


During the regular season (Rounds 1 to 13). The penalties for slow over rates are pretty poor. A penalty of 25 runs in the teams "Runs for" on the premiership table for every over short in the over rate. So if you are 2 overs down at the end of an innings. 50 runs are deducted and your quotient rate is affected. No Team/Player/Captain caress about it. Which is why so many games this season for example, were finishing 6 30pm or later. I heard Northern Districts were 11 overs down in the Over rate in one game and play ended at 6:30pm when the umpires had had enough and just walked off the field.

In the Finals: there are ZERO over rate penalties. The Premier Cricket Committee voted many years ago not to have penalties in finals.
For the umpires on field, there is always the chance of them enforcing "deliberate time wasting" in the laws of cricket where a warning is given and then either penalty runs are given or a bowler is suspended from bowling for the remainder of the innings.

There will be no investigation into the slow play because it has been happening all season, and no-one in charge of the game actually cares

Runs on the board in the GF are massive.

Alex Ross for his 60 odd in the 1st innings was huge.

Tom Andrews back in town for Port Adelaide

No real difference to Sydney in summer really.

Program appears to have been officially released today.

Starts with a full weekend of T20 October 7 and 8.
One day cricket the weekend after
Two day cricket and the official start of two division cricket begins with a Saturday/Sunday game on October 28/29.

Correct weight.

The Laws of Cricket are easily found, but I’m yet to sight an offical published version of the Spirit of the Game.

Thought I would post this for you.
The Spirit of Cricket is written as a preamble to the laws of cricket.

This is a copy and paste of the Spirit of Cricket...

THE PREAMBLE – THE SPIRIT OF CRICKET

Cricket owes much of its appeal and enjoyment to the fact that it should be played not only according to the Laws, but also within the Spirit of Cricket.

The major responsibility for ensuring fair play rests with the captains, but extends to all players, match officials and, especially in junior cricket, teachers, coaches and parents.

Respect is central to the Spirit of Cricket.

Respect your captain, team-mates, opponents and the authority of the umpires.

Play hard and play fair.

Accept the umpire’s decision.

Create a positive atmosphere by your own conduct, and encourage others to do likewise.

Show self-discipline, even when things go against you.

Congratulate the opposition on their successes, and enjoy those of your own team.

Thank the officials and your opposition at the end of the match, whatever the result.

Cricket is an exciting game that encourages leadership, friendship and teamwork, which brings together people from different nationalities, cultures and religions, especially when played within the Spirit of Cricket.

He may end up like Nathan Adcock after he was made captain.
I hope I’m wrong!

I can't see Jake Lehmann becoming a lawyer

Was on You Tube

RabbitholeBD Sports I think is the host stream.

Pretty sure I heard Kann was picked up by the Strikers this week.

Not sure on full details as haven't heard it publicly, but did hear people talking about it.
