Wow. Might cost them a finals spot in the end. Bizarre decision.
A bloke at the game on the weekend said that the points for the replayed game would have counted for the one day competition only so that changes things, why would a club reward another team who couldn't be bothered covering the wickets when it was originally programmed when they are going to play in the finals of the one day competition anyway, from a legal viewpoint I don't know where SACA would stand if they were challenged on the decision where the match conditions have been changed at a whim and clubs have been prevented from receiving points for the premiership table on the two day competition.
That is spot on Billy. If game was replayed yesterday was only for the one day comp. Only one that wins out of that was Northerns as they missed on percentage. WT could have got to 2nd and a home semi, but potentially against a harder team? Only option for 2 day comp is at the appeals tribunal.
In that case, I completely understand WT not choosing to play.
How do SACA make their decisions though!? If the match was replayed, why wouldn’t it count for both competitions? How could it not? The 10 points that WT miss out on could be crucial. Especially with the ridiculous rules in the finals where the top placed team just needs to block out a draw to go through.
