Fielder at fine leg collected a ball from car park and scraped it along the ground multiple times… all in front of one of the Kensington players walking out from his changerooms.



Nothing will come of ball tampering: it is impossible to say who did,what and when and no umpire would have proof, knowledge or have even seen it happen. Especially in a car park.

If a Victorian coach can get away with it in a televised Shield Final, can't see how they can pin it on someone in a car park at a Premier match. Doesn't make it right. Just saying.....

The umpires check the ball after every six, plus when the ball leaves the oval area, like into a car park at Parkinson. Two senior umpires there today, I am sure if the ball looked any different they would have done something. Nothing to see, play on.

B Grade gf not being live scored?


B Grade Glenelg made 177 and Uni are 2/23. Evenly poised but Bays have good bowling line up so back them in to get home just.

Hopefully it dries out quickly.

Lots of pressure on the umps when one team wants to play and the other team doesn’t. WT would hope the get 40 overs in to give them a chance, five an over. Don’t think radar looks too promising though. Why finishing top is so important.

They’re away at Karen Rolton and at Port Adelaide.

No play yet at Kensington, surprise surprise…

Hearing they are aiming to start at 12.30 with 80 overs available. Any time lost with rain from now on reduces those overs. Gives WT at least a chance if rain stays away till late arvo.

Kensington going slooow with the over rate. Hopefully the umpires pick them up on it. 16 minutes to bowl 3 overs.

1st slip wearing a helmet? Why? Dropped Smith. WT 0/40 after 11 overs.

Takes his helmet off and takes a blinder! Smith out.
