SACA at it again. Reschedules the 2 One Day Cup games that were abandoned last Sunday to the 4th Dec. Another Sunday of cricket before Xmas with now only the 11th of December free for players, coaches and volunteers to spend time doing what they need to do in a busy month. No consultation to the affected Clubs from SACA either. Bit tone deaf?

And they wonder why talented cricketers are going to other comps or to other sports

They did consult with clubs, given the option of when they thought best to play and PCC requested the option to replay. If your players and volunteers weren't consulted look at your delegate/club leadership for not communicating.

Regardless, what's stopping them from playing them in the new year?? Why does it have to be another Sunday this time of year??

Thought it might have been next Sunday, Nov 27, think that is free also. This weekend looks just as wet, going to replay them all next week as well then, only Sunday left??

A request has gone around to players asking them to please not approach umpires during breaks to show them vision from FrogBox

[Sonofbrowny25]

keeping an eye on scores this year and have noticed no Dalton for Kensington, has he pulled the pin or injured ?

Is this for real?

Absolutely hilarious.

Looks like MyCricket doesn’t have live scores today, but playhq now does. So I guess playhq is the place to go now? Now all they need is to set up the frogbox for each ground, have scores on it, and for this rain to piss off and it will be like we’re in the advanced future we were in during last year again!


Early score:

Kens 3/9 vs ND!
Pros 4/28 vs Uni
Port 0/58 vs TTG

Yet to get away in other games, but I presume they all will?

Edit: all games underway. ET, Wood and SD all lost the toss and sent in to bat.

Anyone have any mail on what will happen with yesterday's round?

[The Hound]

Heard a bit of blow up between the Weagles and Peckers yesterday amongst coaches, players and the Weagles team manager/scorer.

It seems that some coaches may have ladder positions/trophies built into the contracts and the emotion can run high when under pressure. Who would of thought 24 balls could cause so much trouble!

I believe the Weagles coach invited one of the Woodville players to C U in the NT.

Looking forward to round 7 when they meet next, especially after some vision of a coaches runup was shown between both parties.

May have already wasted some money flying Gibson in too

Re the one day cup. There’s 5 undefeated teams. Schedule one Sunday to play 4th (Port) vs 5th (ND) to see who takes 4th place and play finals from there. Scrap the rest of the games. Stop wasting time trying to reschedule.

You may be on to something here SACA website says top four teams going thru to Semis in February (Sturt, TTG, Kens and Port). Imagine Northerns be the only ones not happy about this as they be the only team that could change that if they beat Adelaide.

looking at the ladder the top 4 are based on Q? as NRR isn't affecting the positions, can someone explain Q which I assume is what you made divided by what they made? how is this a fair system after 2 games let alone 1?

Seems like the one dayers where an inconvenience to the SACA from the start

Agree with that, they dont care about them.

West Torrens put a proposal at start of year to not play the One Day Cup this year, due to all games being 2 day games etc. Was apparently a close vote, but got voted down in the end. Think they now wish they had not have bothered.

Northerns only played one game, as have few other teams but they have all had a loss so can live with missing out. Just another debacle to add to the list!

Q, or quotient, is the ratio of your batting average and your bowling average.
Obviously if both teams are all out, the wickets component effectively cancels out and then it would be what you made divided by what you conceded.

It was the common was of doing things in the past, before NRR became more popular in limited overs games.

The biggest drawback of the quotient method is that if you bat first, you often throw away a few wickets in the last couple of overs going for that extra run or two, but when chasing you bat to the total you are chasing so don't throw away those late wickets as much (especially when you have the chase in control). As such, it can be an advantage to bat second when the quotient method is deployed.

Why wouldn't they play 4 rounds?

That way there's four bye teams and they can play each other at some point

Three rounds including a bye is ridiculous

Games are still likely to be rescheduled unless PCC votes against it. The info on finals was premature. Lots of concern about the volume of Sunday cricket and the impact on volunteers, coaches and players - going without a 1-day comp this season (only) might have been a better choice.

[Eagles2014]

Looks like being replayed on Sunday January 29 (plus the other two games on Dec 4 (from the week before). Must be determined to finish the comp. Bet it is 44 degrees that day!!

Any scores from Campbelltown?

Kens def Northerns by 1 run
Sturt def Southerns by 2 wickets
Glenelg def Woodville
Port def TTG
Uni def Prospect outright

[Tony Clifton]

Any scores from Campbelltown?

Traditionally the hardest venue in the competition to get scores from!

WiFi must be spotty there

Last I heard, Western Eagles were 8/148 after being 7/78.
