Well guys it's confirmed, sanity has prevailed and we have eight teams in Sections Two and Three. A good result. IMG-20210915-WA0000.jpg
Interesting that Warradale have dropped down to Section Four after finishing top in Section Three and losing their Semi final against South Road last season. Coromandel B grade up from Section 4 to 2

Southern Warriors from Section 6 to 3

I see South Road have come back up now since Punjab Lions have gone elsewhere to play.

Be interesting to see what Grand Masters will be like after they have come across from PDCA

No wonder the poms have a slow over-rate when they have a team meeting before each ball. 10 overs in the first 50 mins today, after 87 in 6 and a half hours of play yesterday (play finished at 6.30pm).

I hope they get sanctioned for it but I doubt it as I haven't seen any news on them getting penalised for their slow over rate in the first test. Apart from a Darryl Mitchell bomb that ended up in some lady's pint of Thatchers what other delays weren't out of England's control. Certainly wasn't taking wickets.... Asking the umpires to check the shape of the ball every 5 minutes isn't going to help them much either

The trip across the Nullarbor so far. Currently just out of Norseman.

Have either free camped or cheap camp sites. Stopped at the Bight Marine Park to see the Southern Right Whales.

14 holes played of the Nullarbor Links golf course. What an experience so far. Still 5 weeks of travelling to go

There have recently been some rumblings of amendments to the playing season based on clubs player availability and aging demographics. Additional to this, there were suggestions of weeks off throughout the season for things like the Adelaide test match. I think since the pandemic, more people are inclined to want to miss weekends of cricket for events like this, and I think it's possible to add that weekend off to our schedule.

This competition remains unique from a hard wicket perspective, with most other associations opting to become primarily one day cricket comps. I feel that we should lean in to what we do, and embrace two day cricket, rather than shifting to one day cricket. Therefore, I am suggesting that each team plays eachother once throughout the season in a two day game, with no one day games in between (unless there is a heat/rain effected first day where this would then become the only option). This adds higher stakes to each result and will mean the ladder at the end of a season will be tighter than they've ever been. With this in mind, I feel the association should allow cross section slash players, meaning a player could play week 1 in section 3, and week 2 in section 1, or vice versa.

Further changes to the schedule would include a weekend long T20 carnival in December to get clubs playing 2-3 of their T20 round robin games in a single weekend. This is at the same time as the T20 Big Bash League and around school holiday time. This will also mean less need to source grounds mid week and will allow some clubs who may not have the facilities available on week night to then join the competition.

I would also recommend the association approach the Fleurieu & Districts Cricket board and request inclusion in the Meyer Shield association competition. Either this, or approaching ATCA and re-establishing a yearly Association match. This can be factored in to future fixturing.

Regular season finals structure should take a similar approach to how the BBL function, with the below structure:

Beginning with the Eliminator, the sides that finish fourth and fifth will clash in a 'win or go home' match, with the loser eliminated and the winner proceeding to the Knockout.

The Knockout will see the third-placed side clash with the winner of the Eliminator, with the loser of the Knockout eliminated from the running and the winner progressing.

Prior to the Knockout, the Qualifier between the top two sides will take place, with the winner moving straight into the Final.

The loser of the Qualifier will then face the winner of the Knockout in the second last final of the series, the Challenger.

The Challenger will then decide which club will join the winner of the Qualifier in the Final, with the victor moving on to the deciding match while the loser will be eliminated.

The Final will be hosted by the side that won the Qualifier, with all other finals to be hosted by the highest-seeded side.

Below is how the regular season would look:

Round 1
14 & 21 October

Round 2
28 October & 4 November

Round 3
11 & 18 November

Round 4
25 November & 2 December

OFF
9 December (Test Match Weekend)

ASCA T20 SMASH
16 & 17 December

Round 5
6 January & 13 January

OFF
20 January (Meyer Shield/Association Weekend)

Round 6
27 January & 3 February

Round 7
10 February & 17 February

Round 8
24 February & 2 March

Finals Week 1
9 March & 10 March

Finals Week 2
16 March & 17 March

Finals Week 3
23 March & 24 March

Keen to hear some thoughts.

For older players it is easier to play one day cricket than 2 day cricket. The toll on the body is from fielding and bowling for a complete day while with one day cricket you only need to do it for half a day - a lot easier on the body.

More and more players are starting to favour one day cricket. The assocation needs to take this into account. Keep in mind its the player who play, not the administrators. Have you got a crystal ball to know how the premiership table will look at the end of the season. The table will look like it does depending on how the teams perform during the season.

Players play in one game at a time, not week one in one section and then the second half in another game. If they start to do this it will make many more things difficult such as finals selection. Having players play two half matches you are hoping that they influence the result of the lower section match. Is that fair to all and within the spirit of the game?

You say play everyone once in a two day game, but you have 8 minor rounds. How many teams are going to be in each section?

Your proposal has round 4 finishing on the 2 Dec and if a player isn't playing in the T20's their next game is 6 January and then have another week off before starting the next game on a long week end. That is potentially 1 game in 7 weeks.

Keep the 7 and 7 format . It is a good mix for all. Remember that it was all two day cricket a number of seasons ago. Why was it changed? you want to go back to the past. I believe your idea is good for people who only want to play cricket when they have nothing better to do. Is that what the association wants? I don't think so. Leave the format alone.

Need to sort out the clubs who nominate ex number of teams at the beginning of the season, then to only start forfeiting games and eventually pull a team out.

Sections 9 and 10 are totally disjointed.

Some of those rumblings have probably come from a club who wanted the weekend where it was 38 degrees cancelled becaise the team is full of over 50's.

How about they get proactive and attract juniors to the club. Clubs with no junior programs will eventually fold.

Starting at 7pm weather permitting? On the Wisden daily podcast I listened to this morning they said play will start 15 mins earlier (7.15pm here) and finish an extra half an hour later (so essentially an extra hour with the extra half hour they always use anyway).

No mention of a start time on Cricinfo commentary yet. Normal start time. First 2 sessions will be extended by 15 minutes to make up the half hour

As much as I think we should just be playing one day cricket exclusively I don't want to see our competition compromised because one team in Section 10 just wants to play one day cricket.
Our competition is fair and equal with the 7 and 7 format and is one of the competitions strengths IMO. I think if you want to play one day cricket, go find a comp that is solely that.

I love the format that ASCA offers. Have always played 2 day cricket in previous comps involved in

This is such a boring game to watch. Just batting practice for Pakistan on an absolute road, and bat off between Harris, Bancroft and Renshaw for the Aussies. No intent by either team and be called off by Lunch tomorrow :shock:
Which really matters not as we won’t be unchanged all summer (opening combo).

I always thought it was a limited overs match and more of a novelty match, a chance for the touring side to meet the PM over a few froffies at Kirribilli house and unload some bombs in the pool. Used to be a one day game. A couple of old blokes, mixed with a heap of younger players and an unknown local was the make up of the team

Sent from my SM-S906E using Tapatalk
Sounds good to me, the touring side should play a 4 dayer against the reigning shield winner.

I know the Poms used to make sure we played low division teams for tour matches. Back when tours were proper tours especially when Australia went to England, they would play a lot of the county teams who would always make sure they were full strength.

In between tests the Aussies would ay some of those lower ranked teams

Same when teams came out here, touring sides would play warm-up games against the state teams and even at times games between tests.

I guess the way the schedule is structured now and the amount of cricket played, those type of tours and warm-up matches are a thing of the past
