SHOC batted on the Saturday and rocked up on the Sunday to a freshly mown oval.
PAOC all out for 70.
I heard the pitch was cut and rolled again, which I'm not sure I agree with, but apparently the umpires approved the works.
Hard to believe the umpires would approve the mowing of the outfield though! That's just crazy!
Imagine that happening in a high grade. Do you reckon the Grand Final would have gone ahead?
I can't imagine that happening in any grade to be honest.
If it did, the umpires would have stopped the game then and there. If the umpires didn't, the SHOC captain should have said something and had the game stopped. The fact the game went ahead to me suggests the field wasn't mowed.
I guess we'll never know!
