Play HQ

[The Dark Knight]

Can anyone tell me if they're able to select which opposition bowlers dismissed their team/clubs batsman and if there's an option where catches, run outs and stumpings can be recorded aswell as enter opposition dismissals on the Play HQ score entry?

Enetering scores was pretty straightforward but we've been unable to select which bowlers from the opposition teams dismissed our batsmen and are unable to find where we record catches and opposition dismissals which is really annoying me.

We also can't enter wicketkeeping and fielding votes either and then in our association the Captain's umpire/ground reports are apparently going to be sent out via email to our captains to do the reports and votes, I don't think that's going to be very reliable.

Sorry I live scores yesterday as my first experience for PlayHQ scores haha. Pretty simple and straight forward, worked well.. couple of bits I’m not a huge fan of but meh.

Also can’t replace a player once scores have been entered so not sure what I’ll do.

I hate not being able to set up votes in the system - you can have 1, but we have fielding & BnF so need two.

My association doesn't start til this weekend, but was following a few of the live games over the weekend and noticed the 'ball by ball' feature doesn't work currently on the mycricket app, and you're unable to bring up the personal details/stats on players. Still a work in progress??

Ok live scoring isn't great.. just put in my B grade scores from scratch - missed an over and stuffed another, so made the adjustments end of the innings - turns out you cant edit the stats of the opposition when making adjustments.

Should be called Play H Poo

Thing is it's been used during the winter by the Northern Territory cricket comps so surely some of the kinks should have been ironed out by now.

One of the dumbest aspects I seen with it was when I tried checking scores on my phone it would have the bowlers economy rate but not how many runs scored off of them, not a big deal but just plain stupid.

Turn your phone sideways and it does the lot, but yeah, crazy to think the guys setting the app up think economy rate is more important than runs conceded. Just goes to show how little they know about cricket.

Also shit about PlayHQ - can not produce statistical reports!

Was anyone able to enter catches without live scoring?

Both Para Vista and CU could not see each other’s batting lineup to enter catches.

Goes to show you how T20 drives everything these days.

Ah so not being able to enter catches is across the board, bloody annoying!

Staggering that this organisation won a tender process over 12 months ago on the premise of a 1 stop shop for administrative tasks and hasn't picked up on issues like this!

How can Cricket Australia sit there and treat grass roots clubs like this? They rely on such organisations for their beloved 'participation' numbers.

Staggering indeed, I can't understand why they couldn't copy/implement ALL of the MyCricket score/data entry we are used to that includes the entry of catches, run outs, stumpings, opposition dismissals and votes. I assumed that was the case, did they just f**king forget to include them or something? They're all a part of the game FFS.

Surely these will be implemented eventually?
I emailed our association president about it yesterday but haven't heard back yet.

Sounds like Play HQ is nothing but an utter Shit Show which i'm not surprised about.
After finally mastering Mycricket i dont have the patience to learn all this new shit and all i've heard from others in the Club that are tasked with using it is "It cant do this or cant do that". Things that just should be F*****G Standard !!!!!
Again, doesn't surprise me at all

Agreed, from an admin perspective, MyCricket was a good system that just needed tweaking, not complete overhauling.
From a scoring perspective, Total Cricket Scorer is soooooooo far ahead of the other systems that it isn't funny.
Seems that Cricket Australia are as good as making poor decisions as SACA is - thanks, James Sutherland

Yeah noticed that as well and thought it was pretty silly hey.

Mycricket had it's flaws early on but they were ironed out, the change was not necessary.

Cricket outgrew MyCricket and the program couldn't support the load - wasn't that the biggest issue / need to change over?

PlayHQ isn't bad, but it's not really cricket fit for purpose either - it's a hybrid system aimed to tick off the bare mini requirements for all sports.

Even small things in MyCricket like being able to email availability, or text/email all members is missed in PlayHQ.

Statistics not being able to be viewed, in progress games do not show the players scorecard (unless you go via mycricket), inability to select what stats or columns you wish to have visible. Stats not being able to be extracted from PlayHQ or visible on a central point are a pain in the arse.

Clearance / Permit system is frustrating also, as is the need to register as a player / coach / volunteer - instead of just allocating those roles like you could in MyCricket.

My players had so much issues trying to register.. now trying to find info in PlayHQ they struggle also.

Cricket only outgrew MyCricket because MyCricket was told 2 years ago they weren't getting the next contract so they stopped investing in it.
Last year's server issues were only due to the fact they stopped expanding.

MyCricket was great. It was not only keeping up but was actually driving the improvement.

This narrative that CA and the states are driving that change was required is a joke.
