I see some interesting tips for this weeks matches - Woodside, Nairne, Strath and Lobey for me!
....and that's my tip for the A&EHCA top four....Wistow, Hahndorf to fade and the Creek and Ashbourne to struggle to win enough games in the back end of the season!

Big disadvantage to bat 2nd if bowl teams out cheep. Miss out on crucial batting points. We saw last year how tight it was come the end of the minor round. Ridiculous decision considering the 1 dayers earlier in the season were NOT played under these rules.

Creek pitch was a Greentop Thursday night but after a haircut and roll, it was the usual road today although the scores certaintly dont suggest that.
Just when the Creeks thought they couldn't go any lower, their top order fell like skittles to be 6 for about 15 odd after about a dozen overs and then consolidated to be 6/26 off 23 at the drinks break. after a bit more resistence, the stubborn Potts was just caught short going for a 2nd and now 7/35. Clements and Barnes then formed a partnership to get the run scoring going and the Creeks remarkably batted out their 45 overs to finish with 9/86.
Some good tight bowling, especially by Dellatore put Wistows top order under pressure as they crawled to 3/30. willis dropped b4 scoring threatened to take control hitting a 4 and a 6 of consecutive balls but soon after fell LBW. A steady fall of wickets continued to see Wistow fall to 9/82 with a few overs to go. A single to Nettle was followed by slog to cow corner for the winning boundary by Elsworthy who remarkably was still there after being CLEARLY Run Out when they were 8 down but was given Not Out by the Neutral umpire.
A huge result and relief for Wistow, especially with strath losing today.
For the Creeks, well they just cant take a trick atm, narrowly missing out on what would have been one of the great comeback wins in recent times but is recorded as their 2nd 1 wicket loss from their past 4 games.
Strath are CLEAR favourites next week against the Creeks, so we all know what that means.![]()

Seems to me that if that system is going to continue there would need to be a revamp of the points system! Looking at Saturday's results the big losers from the new rule were Woodside and Ashbourne - you could argue that both teams would have earned themselves an extra point or two had the games continued the full 45 overs. Woodside still had nearly 30 overs to bat & Ashbourne nearly 20.

Strange rule.
If your competition ladder is done using bonus points (points for runs and wickets) then you have to play out the overs.
If you stop once a result has been achieved then the ladder needs to either be net run rate or a ratio (runs scored * wickets taken / runs conceded * wickets lost)
