Temps in the arvo could be high 20's and there will be no cricket playing. Can the Execs make a call on it or is it a hard and fast ruling

Was happy to call it off at that stage. Then there may have been a misunderstanding with Mallala believing it was done and dusted and a few players heading home while Sandy still thought it was possible, by the time the sun had come out and a decision could've been completely sorted out Mallala only had 8 at the ground. Umpire said game off and drove away. Two weeks in a row affected by weather is frustrating

Very embarrassing sat at sandy to call a game off at 1240 due to a tacky pitch which wasnt the one being played on wasnt good for the gamedaysofourlives wrote:interested onlooker wrote:Maybe the umpire needs to be reminded it’s about the players and not him. 22 blokes miss out on playing our great game due to his poor attitude.
Exactly, the same umpire doesnt want to umpire one day games once the team chasing has reached the score. Im always of the belief that games should be played out to the end while the rules allow it. Players pay subs, volunteers put alot of work in to preparing turf pitches, umpires are paid for the day. No one complains when the team batting first doesnt have a crack at setting a target, batting their 40 overs and making say 9/100 yet when the team batting secong gets them in 15 overs some people expect us to walk off the ground instead of batting out the 40 overs we are entitled to. Over the last month ive been subjected to both ends of this stick, its cricket. If the dominat team happens to bat first and posts 300 this is ok but when batting 2nd its not?
