any performances worth noting from around the grounds last night?

Anyone know who won between Old Iggies and Brahma Lodge in the Div 2 game last night?

What's the point of having fielding restrictions in ATCA T20 games if umpires are not going to enforce? In fact, blatantly ignore.

In the game I watched there would have been half a dozen deliveries where the fielding side had one too many fielders outside the 30 yard circle i.e. on the boundary. Despite this being drawn to the attention of the umpire, by the batsmen, no action was taken. My understanding is that a no ball should be called if the fielding team has too many fielders outside the 30 yard circle. Also, there was an instance where a ball bowled down leg side was not called a wide. It was close to leg stump, but outside, so a wide. Maybe the umpires could do a refresher on T20 rules before they umpire these games.

I know it shouldn’t matter but was it 2 a grade sides?

2 A grade sides

Reynella run Down Scotch 2/172 on last ball.
Fox 2 overs, 18 wides.
Scotch 39 extras.

Not sure which game you are talking about SMG, but I have a feeling it was in the Para Hills v Ingle Farm game where admittedly we had 2 balls (I think) in I think the 7th over where we had 4 on the boundary instead of 3. Once I realised I alerted Trav and he brought one in. The umpires certainly weren't switched on in our game. Ingle Farm did this on one occasion also. You could see a bloke sprinting in off the boundary before the ball was bowled and they never got penalised. Also getting called for 4 wides when it clearly comes off a blokes shoe
If the leg side wide you are referring to was against Sharma, he took a step to the leg side and then moved out the way of the ball. This certainly wasn't a wide and was one of a few they adjudicated correctly.
Also, Ingle Farm taking 10 minutes longer than the 1hr 10 mins allocated and not penalised. Wouldn't have mattered anyway as they won fairly comfortably but agreed that the umpires definitely need a refresher. The standard of umpiring has certainly dropped over the last few seasons.

Yes, that was the game. I thought any ball outside leg is a wide, even if the batsman is standing on his head. Either way I think we agree there were aspects of the game that the umpires could have managed better. I spoke to one of the umpires after the game and he asked me what my understanding was of the time limit rule. If they are not sure, refer to the bylaw book, it's there in black and white and pretty unambiguous. Better still have a quick read before umpiring a T20 game as a refresher ..... it's only 2 pages.

Rain around next weekend.

Forecast looks a little grim at the moment.
0-2mm Wednesday
5-10mm Thursday
6-15mm Friday
1-5mm Saturday
Let's see what happens

Prepare your decks on Wednesday morning and get the covers down by mid-afternoon. Hope like hell saturday's forecast clears up a little and you'll be good to go.

Not many clubs have covers though.

Which is very poor form by the clubs, every year we seem to be playing less matches and then they complain come finals time about opposition supporters bringing their own drinks.....


Not hard to apply for Recreation and Sport office grants.

I agree, teams with covers will, but ATCA will call off week 1 before Saturday regardless.
