Nope. This is how they A Grade played in the rain affected round back in November. If one game begins under 2 day rules then all games will be played under those rules.
Silly.
No it's not. What is actually silly is rain overnight and during the morning making blokes drive 30 minutes plus to a ground with no covers to wait for 2 umpires to say no play

So is there a penalty for their stupidity or do they get away with it ?

Don't think so. Likely to do the same thing again tomorrow.
Back to the only game to get away - 56 Overs bowled Northerns 5/134, Adelaide need 5 more wickets and get the runs to bank the points. All other games must use a tactical declaration and bowl the opposition out before stumps. Otherwise play for a draw.
Hope this isn't a sign of things to come but SA in the under 19 championships are yet to get past 200. Currently 8/90 chasing 180 odd v Victoria. Day 2 today

They have no batters, basically only two. Is a real glut of batters in this age group, and in the 17's as well. Would have picked couple of promising Under 17 batters, but they all failed down in Hobart in the 17's Carnival, so could not pick them in the end.
Bowlers have done well, but can't win games when struggle to get past 100.
Dalton and Page are very good, but that's it, and when they fail makes it very tough. They both got going today in 2nd dig, so hopefully gives them confidence for last game on Wed/Thurs.

One of the openers completed a King Pair today Same bowler - Off peg went missing on Sunday & Today trapped LBW

Talk today is it is called a "King Black Pair", but very unusual, first ball of both innings got two great balls.
Don't blame Jake Winter though, he missed two months of cricket after breaking his hip in his first A Grade game in Round 1, only started playing again late December. They really only picked him on potential as leading run scorer from 17's last year, but due to lack of any batters, had no choice. He looks very rusty and out of touch, made 9 off 79 balls last match, but will be better next year for sure.

Good that the game was on AO. Getting harder and harder to get games on there. Is the one day final there?
Yeah he took it running and diving to his right. He also took a sharp c&b to dismiss Trav Head who was set and going well. Those two catches went a fair way to winning Glenelg the game.
Yeah a good game of T20 totals of 180 and 170 always good viewing.
The game also threw up an interesting thing that rarely happens in cricket and I would keen to see what people think. Matt Weaver played the ball to mid on and set off for a quick single, Dand who was bowling dived across the pitch to the leg side and knocked Tim Evans, the non striker over (un intentionally) but big contact was made. The ball was thrown to the keeper with Tim still on his back run out. Whats peoples thoughts on calling a player back in that instance? Im not saying there is a right or wrong answer just be interested in peoples thoughts.

Just a thought. If Weaver hit it and Evans was ran out at the strikers end then maybe they shouldn't have attempted a run. What was Weaver taking off for a run for if his mate was on the deck. On ya bike son - should be more aware of the situation.

If it was to long on maybe but it was to a regulation mid on, quick single called as soon as he hit it. No real time to make a second decision.
Same bowler - Off peg went missing on Sunday & Today trapped LBW
