Last game we got more rain down south than the northern or city based teams did and there was no chance of play. But northern teams got to play.
This game the rainfall was worse up north so we all get called off.
Ridiculous!!!!!!
Seems to me its certainly not a consistent wet weather rule.
The rule should be.....one off, ALL off.
Or supply us all with covers!!!!!

David Heyzer would not have made that decision lightly. He would have been in contact with a number of clubs on the state of their pitch and would have made his decision based on this. At the end of the day it ends up fair for everyone. No one wins a game on the toss of a coin.
On the issue of covers. ATCA are looking at making covers compulsory for Grade 1 and are also looking at a grant to assist clubs manage the cost. In SACA A Grade it is compulsory to have covers, but it was interesting to note only one game got away on Saturday. They come at a significant cost and do not guarantee you a game of cricket.

Personally I think the ATCA are too hesitant to call games off, too often playing on wet wickets with dodgy results dictated by the toss of a coin.

Yes, I do know that and I believe he does a great job in trying to make the best decision for all concerned. Obviously, he cannot get to every ground, so if clubs feel like they are not being consulted they can quite easily be pro-active by letting David know the state of their pitches on Saturday morning.

Which we have done before and still some northern sides got away and we didnt.
2 things....firstly why arent umpires directed to go and have a look at their local grounds and report to david. secondly....how can he possibly get from hope valley to reynella and all grounds in between.
COVERS FOR ALL!!!!!!

Of concern though is the number of clubs struggling/pulling out U/17 teams.
