Grade Cricket

[Arry Gablett]

Some would say the pitch was playable, cricket has been played on worse

One team keen to go

The other who were more affected by COVID. Not so keen so negative about the whole situation

If jets had won may have pushed up the table at west Torrens expense

That sort of stuff has been happening in cricket for 100 years though. Team on top/in a winning position will want to play. Team in a losing situation want it called off.

Cosi so keen to play maybe he should have agreed to bat first then Yep, didn’t think so.

Cosi not the skipper

May have had a go if asked

Didn’t have as much to lose

Cosi club coach, he was running the show yesterday, kidding yourself if you think Gareth Cox was, all he was doing was lying and digging a bigger hole for himself with the umps WT to win in the boardroom so to speak

It’s great that two ? first hand accounts can provide different perspectives

[Tony Clifton]

So West Torrens were worried that it was going to be a coin toss game and that was why they didn't play? So not unplayable - just much better for the team bowling first? Heard that the Jets didn't have covers on so reckoned they could get a win that way without the risk of playing and losing the toss?

Hmmm

Can one day games get reduced down to minimum 20 overs?

[Tony Clifton]

Ideally the umpires have to make the call on playing. Whether a team is keen to play or not keen to play should have no bearing.

Some do seem to get talked into things however. And let's face it, if you haven't played at a semi decent level yourself you wouldn't have an intimate understanding of where the line is between playable and unsafe.

Someone who knows their cricket like you would be aware it is the Umpires decision whether play is possible or not. Nothing to do with what the teams want. Their responsibility to ensure player safety so they don’t get lawsuit. Your first paragraph above TC is so far off the mark, never said anything like that

Can still play 20 overs per team if time permits. They waited four hours and the pitch had not changed one bit from 10.30 till 2.30. No play was possible according to the umpires. Nothing will change without sun or wind, neither was around. Umpires are trained in this and would know better than you TC.

Your bias against West Torrens shows in most of your posts TC. Just put the bloody covers on like you are supposed to, end of the story really. WT 20 points, ND 0 points. Play on

Hey I was just going by what this guy told me!

Match would have been won at the toss.

But yes if Jets curator didn't get permission to go with no covers then my understanding is WT get the points

PS was just being mischievous!

[Arry Gablett]

Pitch was damp on the Friday
So putting covers on a wet pitch would equal ?

Certainly can't cover a wet pitch but need sign off from higher up if that's what the curator wants to do is my understanding

Do you know if that happened?

[Arry Gablett]

That I can’t answer but I guess the decision once made will tell us

Is it still a council prepared wicket?

[Arry Gablett]

Yes

Hard to see a difference here between ND-WT 1st Grade and the Uni-Port 2's & 4's...

If the Uni-Port games have been declared as draws on MyCricket and points split (would appear to be the case going by ladders on MyCricket) then I would think it's very hard to see West Torrens getting anything.

Interesting to note this (direct copy and paste from the By-Laws)

309. The following points shall be awarded in all Minor Round matches in Men’s West End One-Day Cup, Men’s
West end Twenty20, Women’s 1st and 2nd Grade and Junior Twenty20 matches:
Win 15 points
Tie 7.5 points each
Loss 0 points
Abandoned match 0 points
Drawn match 0 points

So unless this is a major typo - abandoned games get you 0 points in the One-Day Cup anyway.....!!!

Unlucky.

That’s a better result for WT presuming it doesn’t count as a game. In that case their match ratio would equal Kensington and Northerns, but the better strike rate puts them in a position where if they beat Glenelg, they’ll finish in the final 4.

saca will make it up as they go. hopeless.

did ND get permission to not have covers on? if so, who provided the permission (and on what evidence) and who was the permission given to, the curator?

premier cricket has never been run so badly

I think there is a SACA grounds manager who oversees the club grounds. Trent Kelly maybe? I think curators have to clear it with this person re covers
