anyone know what happened at Salisbury oval. I see play commenced after an issue with the ground, however play discontinued soon after the 1st innings score was passed. With no further rain I assume the ground was considered safe to play.
huge dollars spent and in the most important season for many years and clubs pull the pin early with plenty time left in the game.
surely time playing with the recruits for some of the younger players would be invaluable regardless of the game situation.
I guess no amount of money and recruits can buy culture.
I heard that play didn't start until around 3pm and only 5 overs were played. I am led to believe the pitch was fine but there were some wet patches on the square. Apparently ND had no interest in putting any work in to the get the area playable so Sturt made them wait around until play got started. ND only needed a couple of quick wickets and they would have been right into the lower order/tail. I heard it was the Sturt people who put some work in on the square as ND were just sitting around with Cosi and their captain continually lobbying the umps to call it off. Obviously Sturt were keen to get the 20 points given all the games at Park 25 and elsewhere got away, which they are absolutely entitled to do. They peeled off the remaining 28 in 5 overs without losing any wickets and then play stopped. Probably walked off given no time for a further result and Sturt's NRR is pretty good with only losing 4 wickets and going at over 4 runs per over?
Yes - a lot of money spent to be bowled out for 135!!
Maybe Aary Gablett can tell us how it unfolded? Think his son played for Northerns on the day in the 1st Grade.
Have seen Cosi over many years try and bluff the umpires and try and get his own way. Been embarrassing the way he has carried on. Don’t know why he is getting involved this time, you are no longer the coach or captain, so keep the **** out of it
