Riverland Cricket

[Not Scared]

T20 was a great day on Saturday. As a spectator, I thoroughly enjoyed it (from what I can ramamber anyway). Music cranking in between overs etc added to the atmospehere and it was really good to watch. To be honest, I'd prefer to watch that every week, rather than a 2 day game. I know the purists will cringe at that comment, but as a spectator who enjoys taking a bag of goon down to the cricket each home game and getting on the gas, it was a really enjoyable day and there should be a lot more of it.

More, no. As Rip says the balance is about right at the moment. Any more and you wouldn't have any players to watch playing it. The spectators would get sick of it too if it happened all the time. It's a novelty thing.

Who asked for your opinion???

Whats the likelyhood of cricket being canned early this week?

[Baron Greenback]

Pretty likely.

[Ripdschitlaz]

An early call would be great.
Would save preparing a pitch for no reason.

I know all Renmark matches are called off.
Looks like it will still be forecast for 42 tomorrow so the A and B grade should be off too.
Although I remember when it was forecast for 44 once on the Friday and then on Saturday it dropped to 40. Yucky!

And if I remember correctly, the temp actually got to 43.

Yep that's right.

I know the Waikerie v Loxton match was washed out

Berri won by around 40 runs I reckon. Made 230 odd and bowled Monash out for 190. Played on the hard wicket at Monash.

Not a fan. Love playing on turf.
Hard wicket makes it too easy for the batsmen.
I prefer the batsmen to be challenged a bit.

[Ron Burgundy]

It is a rubbish decision, unless both games are able to do it.

Even CN can hit consecutive sixes on hard wicket!!

Couldn't get the third though.

Personally I don't like it at all.
I had a fair bit to say on the issue last year and was shot down by an RTCA executive with predominately hard wicket backgrounds.
I've played in a few different turf comps during my time and I havent seen it done in any of them.
I spoke to a couple of old stagers that played RTCA in the 70's, 80's and 90's and they couldnt recall it occuring up until the time the decision was made last year.

Loxton and Waikerie had the option of transfering to hard wicket but unfortunately they were washed out after commencing the game on turf.

Anyone got today's results.

Anyone got today's results.

Berri got over Waikerie by 20 odd runs on yet another slow and powdery Waikerie wicket.
Not sure about the other game.
