What the SACA has done makes sense and will allow cricket to go ahead but with the Turf should they go ahead and allow games to be played against their policy it opens up a can of worms should a player fall ill. Once you introduce a policy like the ATCA has done it must stick to it to the letter or they just open themselves up to all sorts of legal problems should something happen.
Thats why lawyers are ruinging our world. But that is another thread altogehter.
The irony is that with the forecast for this week being 37C it is highly probable that all grades will be playing in hotter conditions than they would have faced on the Saturday just gone. I am all for having the heat policy in place but it needs to be more flexible for situations just like this.
