Would double headers on Sundays be better options? Would help with availability as well. I get that we dont want to be giving up Sundays, but Tuesday nights just dont work IMO

Need clear evenings for this to work. Last night wasn't ideal.

Light was always going to be an issue last night. Playing time is from 5.20 to 8.10. Sunset at 8.02. Good luck batting second! Game at Rowe Park finished right on 8.10 and it was very dark. If ATCA are going schedule games in November they need to start at 5.00pm at the latest. Other option is schedule them in December through to February when sunset is 15 minutes later.

I just think that if we have to play them in November, just do it as a group double header on a Sunday, that way the lights no issue, and we can squeeze a Tuesday in December in when the lights better..

Good concept. More fun than training!!

Our B grade who are in C3 done an amazing job keeping the Grange B grade who are div 2 reigning T20 champs to 85.

Getting bowled out for 20 with extras top scoring for 11 and an opener neaely carrying his bat for 4 was a bit rough though lol

Cheers ATCA, really loved the drive from gawler to brighton for no reason because you didnt call it off.

Not a lot they could do. All decks would have been fine Friday night which is the last opportunity to call with out showing up.

They have until 10 am saturdays to call it and have done so on the day several times.

Rain ruins cricket

Most would have been ok at 10am, the rain between 10&11 didn't help things

I drove from unley to andrews farm between 8 and 9 am, it eas pissing down everywhere

Anyway onto one dayers next week !

Yep. Pt Districts under water. Next 3 games are One Dayers,

All 3 of our grades were called off before the scheduled arrival time on Saturday. Shout out to ROC who phoned about 10am to say there was no chance of play, but gave us the option to still come and look at the deck if we liked. Naturally the drive from Gawler to Rostrevor for a quick look at a bogged grass area wasnt overly appealling to us, so we made the call early. Common sense prevailed

Yeah Brighton rang us

at 5 to 12 after saying they inspected it at 10 am and realized it was under water

Considering it rained most of Thursday so no work done on pitches....maybe 1 light roll, I would have thought that any rain Saturday morning it would be called off. Looked at the website at 10:30m and it said all games were to continue as planned..... crazy!
Most wickets would have only had work done on Friday so pitches would have been well underdone anyway. Umpires called it off at 1;00 at Reynella and we had covers on all morning. Lucky the Flinders boys didn't have far to go.

I think a minute silence and black armbands across all grades is an appropriate measure this week
