Heat Policy

[rainbow warrior]

Don't let the facts of the risk of exposure to extreme heat get in the way of a good "toughen up" sledge. I guess some people think winning a game of cricket in a very minor comp where basically anyone who bothers to rock up can play in is important. I know because i have played in A1 before and i can assure you i am shithouse.

Obviously played in a SHITHOUSE team then...
Have no idea what era you may have played your s***t cricket in, but certainly mid late 90s A1 was extremely strong.
May not be quite as strong overall now, but still the premier comp outside of SACA..

Okay, i was a bit harsh but my point is that no-one is playing for sheep stations and players welfare is more important than a game of cricket.

A1 is a good standard but i won't apologise for saying i am shithouse

MAte for some of us in the later stages of our careers we do consider a premiership (of which I have only previously won one of ) a Sheep station and are keen to get it. A bit of heat is not goign to hurt anyone who prepares correctly.

The standard is very good these days, lots of veterans from district coming back enjoying their cricket without it taking up all fo their weekend. Very tough standard and there are no easy games.

Here we go again !!!!
lets see if it makes a difference being a start of a round for SACA and ATCA rather than the 2nd week..

me thinks it might.....

It would be the other way around,it's easy to call the first week off compared to the second. Just play a one-dayer week 2.

Sorry Booney, thats exactly what I mean't...
May have worded it wrong..

History says they tend to call of for weather far easier 1st week than 2nd...

A1 - A3 should still play as per the heat policy. A few years ago on a first week when AHOS palyed Gepps Cross they played when other games didnt. I was out injured and couldnt play but got to play in a one dayer for the Bs the week after so was happy about that.

SHould not adjust the policy regardless of hte week.

I think we are just going to have to agree to disagree. I have never played in a premiership (several losing GF's though ) and would do just about anything for one but i still think it is wrong to play in extreme heat.

If it is week 1 of a game you play a one dayer week 2.

If it is week 2 you share the points.

So,how does this impact on you and your teams ability to play in and win a GF?

It is a two day comp, one dayers make it uneven especially for sides playing weaker sides. It gives some an unfair advantage and less possibility of an outright some others get. Outrights are tough at the best of time and unlikely, it just makes the chances less and chances to maximise points are less. Also some teams average at two day cricket their game suits limited over cricket better . Lots of factors. It is just a bit of heat.

[Booney]

You just said outrights are " tough at the best of time and unlikely " , so if you are banking on playing finals by winning outright.....? And if you're team is limited to a one dayer and no chance of outright points,so is every other team.Argument does not stand up.

Why do you think you're club and the assosciation you play in introduced this ruling ? (Heat policy)

I'd say it is for the welfare of all players, I think you may be overlooking that somewhat.

You dont have me convinced.

I dont have to convince you I will be playing regardless as A1 wil lbe playing.

We are sitting third so I am not banking on an outright I am jsut saying although unlikely they are a greater possibility when playing a lower ranked side. There are unfair advantages to some sides by playing a one day game than a two dayer. IT is not the same for everyone as everyone has a different opposition they wont have the chance to paly in 2 day cricket. Just my opinion. Dont really give a rats if you agree or not.

I think you do care because you have participated in umpteen pages of back and forth regarding the heat policy. If you don't care then don't write trying to convince others that your view that we should all just toughen up is the correct one.

Let's not all bore each other all day on this again..
If the decision is play, we play...
If it's off, it's off...

Cant control the uncontrollable.....

why not start playing the juniors on a friday night and then the seinors can start at 10 on saturday mornings this way we will be finished by 2 30 just before the hottest part of the day

[hearts on fire]

how about, no body plays and thats the end of it? then everything is fair for everyone, same rule applies for everyone.

Yeah juniors at night is a great idea it is only 43 today so it should only be what about 42 when they start great idea

[risetothetop]

they dont start at 3 twat they start at 5 30 and plus most of our teams play down south so its atleast 3-5 degreas cooler down here work it out.

[wycbloods]

5:30 has still been well over 40 on the days when the top has been 40+ sometimes it is the hottest part of the day. It hasn't dipped below 40 before 8:30 in some cases in the last few weeks .

[wycbloods]

It needs to be a rule that is implemented for everyone not most of the comp.
