Para Districts Cricket Association 2010-11

With this rule only being for grade 1 i really cant see it being a problem relaying it on to anyone.. explaining the rule change would be easy.. The only issue i see is clubs being to lazy to want to do it... Lose 4 points and a fine would sort that out..
Seriously its a line where 2 people are only aloud out of in the first 12 overs..

I agree! It's a can of white paint, 30 mins of someones time, and a tape measure............not difficult!

bet you never get this problem on the MCG?

I agree aswell, we'll see though.

How many grade 1 sides do you think will be against it? cause i get the feeling you think we will be playing without the line..

[Wizard of Oz]

Doesn't even need to be a painted line. Some flat discs could be layed out on the ground like they do at Adelaide Oval.

[catchit]

You wont get any turn at my toes papas

Not planning on it turning. Actully not even planning on bowling spin at all.

I think with your pace the umpire will tell the captain the same spin bowler can not bowl from both ends

The only problem there is the brahma boys might mistake them for dollar coins

Coins!!!?? Pffftt... We only deal with notes, coins are for kids!

I'm just saying don't get too excited about it just yet. Most club delegates don't like change, I've witnessed this at the meetings.
Club by club:
Angle Vale: I doubt it, playing on a school oval they probably wouldn't be allowed to put extra marks on the oval and they don't have anyone getting on the forum to influence.
Brahma: Yes, always looking for changes to keep with the times.
Gardens: I doubt it.
OTH: Yes.
Rosies: Yes, coz catchit said they have to.
Westies: Yes.
Smithfield: Yes.
Virginia: I doubt it, Kenny would be the only one aware of it and will forget to reply.
Umpires/ PDCA: Probably not as per comment regarding Bob, I think the exec will want to trial it but the umps would rather leave it alone.

You also have to take into consideration that it wont be "majority rules" vote, all the pro's and con's will be discussed at an exec meeting and a decision will be made.

more upmarket than that
Sibs does a bank transfer into everyone's account at the end of each game

I thought they would use brown paper bags for the great Catchit

5 coins make a note, thats if big red doesnt “drop“ those coins before he cashs them in

Big red wasnt alone....

Thats only the sign on fee EM

All I can say is get your delegate to mount a strong case for the change, I can only see it as a positive. I tried for about 3 seasons to get bonus points introduced to encourage teams to bat 2nd when they play against minnows. Pretty dis-heartening for teams to be chasing 350 in a one-dayer then get all out for 40. You can now get the same points for a similar result and be finished by 3pm.

Well it's up and running now, just gotta take the squeeky wheel approach sometimes.

Love the avatar, do you & Groover sit down together and watch "the hangover" over and over again?

This is what I am going to forward onto Peter Clarkson. Anything else I should add??

Pro’s
1. more exciting
2. Wouldn’t be too hard to organize
3. Teams put under more pressure and forced into decisions in the field.
4. The fact that its only grade 1 is fair enough and at the competitions top level should probably be closer aligned to playing conditions in other competitions
Cons
1. Someone from club has to do it – would take 10 mins

Our club also believes for the last 28 overs u should only be allowed to have a maximum of 5 men out of the circle. This again will encourage bigger hitting and more strategies from captain in fielding side.

[Lightning McQueen]

They seem pretty much around the mark mate, I'll do something similar, I know Pete reads this a bit so I'll try and find some other reasons aswell.
It's all about the PDCA becoming a more professional association, it's the clubs letting it down, not the executive anymore. Just by looking at the results on the PDCA website highlights this, I'd like to see current scorecards done by mondays and team lists etc.
We can mill around with mediocrity forever or excell as one of the front-runners under the SAMCA banner.

[Executive Member]

I say get on board anything that makes it more interesting for the players is a winner

Also with the outside the circle bit the bloke who gets paid doesn't have to monitor it as it would be up to square leg - and I am sure that the square legs will be all over it

At the end of the day i would think majority would rule and why would the umpires even be consulted, they should be doing as they are told
