From all reports both teams enjoyed it and i heard rumbling of it being almost better to play on than complex 2. Good to see we have another option in the battle against the weather.
Wandies A grade showed their class with a thumping of Risdon. Risdon Batsmen should take a hard look at themselves and learn to bat their overs out and tough out good bowling.
Warnertown underlined their credentials with a good defeat of last years runners up solomontown, albeit a weaker team than last year. A certain batsmen told me he made a few runs, 45 i believe, and that he is once again in for a big year.
As for the topic of umpires and the ruling on weather a game should play, the umpire should always carry an insurance form and then if the captains want to play let them. Im not saying this is the rule this is my idea of a compromise which would be preferrable to all. I think the key idea here is in B grade, or champions league lol, especially they just want to have a game of cricket. But hey the sooner the weather sorts is self out and gives us summer sunshine the better. Then we can all start complaining about the heat rule haha
Not possible i wouldn't think SS, i think the legality's would rule that out. Credit to you though for putting up an alternative rather than discredit the umpire. I heard one spectator ask someone why they don't replay games that are washed out. I'm told they used to do that but the answer was the players/clubs don't want to do that. So how important is having a game of cricket?
