Both of the double century makers retired.
Not often you get a chance to bat the day where as there will always be another week for the others to perform.
It is district cricket.

Take nothing away from the lads, a great effort to make a double century in any grade of cricket, but it is Junior cricket.

Agree with you. One hundred each plenty surely? Would have been obvious from early on that it was a lopsided contest.

Well done batting the day, but if you aren't being challenged what does it really prove?

I think what they did was quite arrogant, it's U/14 whites cricket FFS. Good effort by the kids making double centuries but they should of been retired after the made there first one hundred and then the rest of their team mates should of been given a bat.

That's the Sturt DCC for you. If it was their kids in the field the team manager would have taken them of the park and refused to continue....

Exactly! Although they were strong I recall them being quite an arrogant bunch when I played juniors.

That's what I meant, it wasn't as though they dismissed the opposition cheaply and batted for a day and a half.

Ah I see. I was involved with a senior game last season where we piled on 500 in 97 overs. We only batted on because the captain wasn't confident of gaining anything significant by bowling again.

Some interesting situations in A and B grade starting to come up with teams declaring well behind on the first innings, trying to force an outright result. I know at the TTG v WT game there was confusion about the ability to enforce the follow-on when a team declares behind on the first innings. Apparently even the umpires and umpire observer was not sure of the ruling and the Laws of Cricket do not specifically mention this situation (that I could find).

In this game WT made 319, TTG declared at 7/80 odd believing that WT could not enforce the follow-on and therefore declared their 2nd dig at 0/0. The game petered out to a no result, but I assume that the TTG captain would have needed to do a deal with the WT captain to declare at 0/0 rather than enforce the follow-on to try to make a game of it. Without a deal being done, WT just enforced the follow-on (why would they not?) and hoped to bowl them out again in the day.

Can anyone enlighten us on the rules in this situation?

Pretty sure the communication break down was the reason for it and the follow on rule is pretty simple IMO anyway.

The A Grade game sounds like it was a quality game of cricket. WT declaring at 300 odd after 8 overs into the second day. Without Trav Head who wasnt cleared by the SACA medicos to play after copping one on the elbow, a supurb innings from Tim Evans (98) and small contributions across the board looked like a close finish coming up - it still ended in a close finish but few quick wickets had TTGDCC playing out from the draw which we fell 7 balls short of unfortunately being dismissed for 270 odd.

Think the rule change is a good thing. Forces teams to be more tactical and try to manufacture results.

Which then makes a more high pressure situation either going after the bowlers for runs or protecting your wicket to force a draw.
