Yep. All cricket called off if the forecast at 9am on Saturday morning is 40 or more.

Just to reinforce wyc's comments. If at 8am on Saturday morning the forecast is 40° or higher ALL GAMES are cancelled.

In reality any forecast after around 5:30am on Saturday morning will suffice because that is when bom update thier forecast for the day, there is generally no other update between then and early afternoon.

With regard to cricket being a summer sport etc, I welcome the day off!

I've played 18 seasons of ASCA and I reckon we've only had a heat policy for the past 10 years, and I think the hottest I played in was 46 and that wasnt much fun for me personally.

I understand that others want to play in it, have played in hotter, etc, etc and thats ok for them as well, each to thier own (you need to see a psychiatrist by the way!).

Sucking down pints in 42 deg vs chasing a ball around an oval in 42 deg...

i only reckon you should play is because i don't play anymore

pints are delicious, but i find rained out days or days being called off due to the heat can turn out to be very messy... Enjoyable, but potentially messy.

With Saturday almost certain to be cancelled congratulation to Morphy Parks and WYC for proceeding with plans for a 20/20 match to determine the David Lee Shield. The game will be an extended one starting at 1.00 and will be played in the spirit intended - the memory of a great guy who loved his sport and his family and friends - oh - and beer! Everybody is welcome to drop in and enjoy the day and remember a guy who left us way too soon.

Sounds good to me. Be good to have the shield back after the game as well

God I hope not - that would just be plain greedy!!

Someone suggested having half time entertainment in the form of bowling at Moe in the middle to raise more money for beyond blue!
Crazy idea I reckon.
Especially after 21 stubbies.

Don't worry Moe, The bowler isn't all that keen either, plus he doesn't want to see you have to drink your beer through a straw for the rest of the night

21 Stubbies ??? are you taking it easy ???
