PDCA

No umpire Week 1. Week 2 they send in an over officious umpire who proceeded to call every debatable No ball I hear.

Surely an umpire can not be introduced mid game? Especially if they hold a vastly different interpretation to the rules the club umpire had in Innings 1.

ER will dominate Grade 1 and 2. I would have thought the 2 best teams would want to test each other out, obviously not.

How the hell can you appoint an umpire halfway through a game?!? That's laughable!

100% agree - the two best sides should be in the same division competing against each other... but they wont because it means they cant win 2x women's flags.

Eyre Royals is a women's cricket club with a Men's program.

WHACK!!

Come on fella's. surely you don't seriously think they should have two teams playing in div 1? That would make more or a mockery of the comp, how about the other teams work on their game, develop kids and have constructive training sessions?

Absolutely they should, they have the best two sides in the competition.

Our women train twice a week and are improving slowly, but are coming from zero starting base with none having played previously. Hopefully one day we will be competitive enough.

Sadly though each side seems to have at least one or two experienced ladies who have played some form previously and that's the difference.

One day..

Yeah, Rome wasn't built in a day.

Most of last years ER team were playing B Grade a few years ago, about 6 or 7 of them had to step up to A's when pretty much their whole A Grade disbanded.

Would've won the GF if I had of focused on winning every game instead of trying to develop all of the group, and then Quinno killed us with a shocking call in the GF that would of seen us knock off the Units before the rain washed us out.

We set Lisa Walker up with our slowest bowler, we knew she'd run down the pitch and try to smash her for 6, she did and got caught on the boundary only for Quinno to call out no-ball, it was a dreadful call, I didn't mind letting him know about it either.

of course it is their choice to field 2 sides in 2 different grades. But I just feel it would be beneficial for them to be playing against the best sides and right now they are the 2 best sides in comp by far.

PDCA umpired by a pack of yahoos who think the game is about them!?!

How on earth does a club hit MORE runs than the opposition and then lose the game because an umpire decides to apply "penalty runs".

What a disgrace... fancy punishing a whole side over what? An umpire forgetting its not about them?!?

[The Bedge]

Enfield 140 vs ATCO 131.

Player got out, carried on like a spud - not condoned - umpire penalised side 10 runs.

Enfield 140 vs ATCO 141.

Then advised, said spud player also reported TWICE, team as a whole given "official warning" (despite any other player actually saying or doing anything), and anything further would impose 5 run penalties.

[no_remorse28]

Sadly Bedge, you're wasting your time.. everyone knows comps like PDCA and ASCA don't give a **** how bad the umpiring is, they're desperate for volunteer umpires (who get paid well) and they'll back em to the hills regardless of how poor they are.

Bloke wants to give them out like lollies?! 5 run penalties are match altering FFS!

What a way to make the game about YOURSELF!

Ive never been a big fan of the 5 run penalty. Just another grey area where a couple of umps will use it, the rest wont and what is penalised one week wont be the next.

I can't see why if someone does something that 'bad' they cant report the player and hand down a decent size suspension for him.

[The Bedge]

Precisely whuffer!

Name any other sport where the official can so directly impact the outcome of a game with such a hefty punishment.

If I was playing Aussie rules and belted the oppositions best player in the first quarter I’d get reported and games but the side wouldn’t be docked 3 goals would they!

It’s not the individual only who is impacted it’s an entire side and club.

Suspend the person for how ever many games.. make them learn their lesson

100%. Especially when its a batting incident, its not like the rest of the team can do anything to stop it even if they really wanted to being they are seated 50-100m away.

In Aussie rules the player may be sent off for the balance of the match and may not be allowed to be replaced so for the rest of of the match its 18 verses 17. That has an impact on the entire side and club if the opposition coach can coach. Then as you say the person is also suspended for future matches.

Is it the umpires fault for following the Laws of the game or is it the players fault for acting and/or making comment in breach of the Laws? The penalty runs are given at the time of the offence so unless it was the last wicket the batting team knows where they stand.

Assuming you where not there like me its all hear say what the player did or said. Umpires like all people have different tolerance levels so some will be quicker to act than others.

Your comment 'PDCA is umpired by a pack of yahoos who think the game is about them' - how many umpires have you had this season and how many of them have actually umpired that way? It is a huge general statement. I would always rather have a neutral umpire than the opposition umpire especially if they bat second.

[The Bedge]

It’s 100% the fault of the player. He stuffed up, and he should’ve shut his mouth.. however, penalty runs are still a severe punishment to receive as a side particularly in a low scoring encounter.

The player was reported (twice) for the same incident, and will probably receive 3-4 games - that is a more than sufficient penalty.. imposing penalty runs on top is just double dipping and over the top.

As a captain on the sideline there was no way myself or any other team member could intervene and help diffuse the situation.. we were helpless and we were punished.

Yes we should’ve made the runs, but that’s not the point. The penalty runs were an absolute over reaction.. I would see half a dozen incidents each game that are worse, but the umpire deadset had a meltdown and lost it:

Anyway we will move on (some sooner than others), but that bylaw needs to be looked at - hate to see a Grade 1 grand final decided because of an emotional outburst from a player.
