Big congrats to my cousin who knocked up an unbeaten 105* in the Grand Final, good day to stand up!

Batted all day for it too, fair effort shows a lot of resilience!

His sharp one handed catch in the semi to get me out is the reason they won

Good cricketer Trav Gebauer. Thought he would have played grade cricket at a high level.

He's too much of a sook for that, has got ability.

Also appears helmets will become compulsory from next season as originally planned. Guess i'll retire now - or just bat 11 and declare when 9 down.

1. Grade 1 and 2 teams entered into mycricket Friday evening. (should be compulsory)
2. Basic scores entered into mycricket end of days play. (needs some upgrading, everything should be in by 6pm Sunday at the latest)
3. Grade 1 and 2 captains can return to exchanging team sheets instead of writing the lineup in the book pre-game. (having to put the teams in the book was a pain in the arse, the book should be entered in batting order, sometimes that changes)
3. Where less than 6 overs remain in the days play, should Team A be dismissed, Team B may opt to 'forfeit' the remaining overs for the days play. (50/50 on this)
4. Umpires want pay rise of $10. (why not? Keep bumping it up for when I give it a shot)

Other discussion points:
6 Team Grades - shot down. (GRRRR, we just had a Grade 1 forfeit due to the massive gap in it, Grade 2 is poop, delegates should've taken this back to their clubs)
LO sides promotion/relegation system (thought this already happened). (Keep all the A Grade LO's together, they can play off for the "Nothing Cup", the Units got stitched on this one last year)
Discussion of increasing fines for forfeits etc. (Give them a hike for not getting their stats in on time, makes the PDCA look too unprofessional how it is).
Ongoing discussions around making helmets compulsory - storngly recommended by CA/SACA but essentially up to each assoc. (no comment).

Actually reckon the umpire recommendations make sense especially number 3 which is meant to be number 4.

Forfeiting the overs for the days play has merit i think - not much reward for taking the 10 poles and suddenly having to face a fierce little period pre-stumps.

Umpires dont deserve a pay rise, the standard is poop already.

I believe also with the compulsory helmets, there may be fines associated with not wearing one - so from what i've heard, the PDCA will put the onus back onto the clubs/individuals but add if you dont wear one, void your insurance and we will slug you a hefty fine.

My opening batting career would have been extended if it wasn't for that stupid rule lol. Faced too many Carman, McMullen, Davies, Woody spells at the end of day for my liking. I remember one day being at the other end while watching Craig Dantonio get hit ball after ball by Carman practically in the dark. Reckon he was hit 50% of the time.....was great viewing!!!

Not sure why but when I was in PDCA all I saw and heard was negativity around MyCricket. Moved up to a country comp and it works pretty much perfectly with all clubs needing to have their teams in by Friday night and all games to score live on their plus one book. All clubs do this with very little issue and adds a lot of fun seeing scores around the grounds etc throughout the day.

Yeah and what advantage is that to the team batting second lol?

Hey well done lads, rolled them for 100 - now we just need to manage half a dozen lightning bolts in fading light.. we'll be 3/15 at stumps but hey at least we bowled them out.

Forfeiting those overs, return day 2, 10 wickets in the shed, opposition on the backfoot.. lovely.
