Adelaide Turf Cricket Association 2012 - 2013

A4.
Penfield made 282 came out today and pitch was underwater!!!
Coincidence??

It will be interesting to see what the outcome of this is.

Not suggesting any foul play but..

Do Fulham take responsibility as the home team for whatever happened and conceed the match
or
Do they blame the curator / council for the mistake (who may have actually been at fault), take the draw and play in the GF next week.

I remember a semi a few years ago up at Ingle Farm where a similar thing happened and Ingle Farm conceeded the match.

Yes im not sure of precedence in this case. But i would think surely the home team is responsible for ensuring the ground is playable!! Obviously weather cant be helped.
If they couldn't have the pitch playable then the right thing to do is concede the match.

[OKC!]

Home teams responsibility. If they can't communicate to the appropriate people that they need the pitch both days then they should lose the match. Simple as that in my opinion.

Can't use the excuse that its the council or curator.

Tough one.
I'm a big fan of it being the home team's problem, however the turf this year hasn't really set that as the precedent.

Wasn't there also a c1-ish game on at Fulham too? I wonder if the same thing happened with that game?

Fulham chasing 283 and pitch is suddenly underwater? Surely Penfield go through

It didnt even rain last night did it.

Obvious decision needs to be made.

Just saw on myCricket that the C1 game at Fulham ended in a draw also.

Sounds like either the sprinklers came on last night or there were some very isolated showers!

Pembroke beat Kilburn by 3 runs, we were 5/31, hard yards from there but to get so close is devastating

[BenchedEagle]

Protest has been lodged, interesting what the result will be.

Same thing happened in the C1 game. Match awarded to Fulham. Old Ignatians have lodged an appeal.

we had over 40 overs to go in the day, and had them 4 down pretty quick, stranger things have happened, credit to one of there blokes who with a dodgy hammy held us out long enough to hold on for em, 5 and 6 fell quick again with about 20 overs left but I think our skip finally conceded with about 15 overs due, lol

Hard to just not go out and have another crack with a heap of overs left, we gave it a go. Good luck to both teams next week

Haha yeah fair enough. Cant die wondering! Lol

[BenchedEagle]

Fulham have had the other game from C1 protested as well. Old Iggies also smell a rat.

[Sonofbrowny25]

Fulham surely have explaining to do?

Trinity won a hard fought victory! Good wood put up a great fight and had us there at 4-167 but were rolled In the 78th over for 210..... What a day!

Congrates to Pooraka in the A2's completely outplayed us on saturday, they have been the standout side all year and deserve there chance to play unley in the G/F.
