Watched the ball before which was the LBW shout and thought geez DJ action is looking a tad suspect these days. Not knowing what was going to happen next ball

Was it the umpire or the scorers yelling it out near where the camera is set up.

Thats horrendous. Looked like he wanted to kill someone every ball he bowled, nearly did if that throw hit him in the head

Can't believe i've only just learned that apparently you can play all season in a different competition i.e. Juniors / Women's but as long as you've played the right number of games for the club you qualify for Men's finals.

Weirdly though, if you play the right number of games for your club, but in say ATCA it doesn't count.

Either you play the required number of games in the comp you want to play finals, or you simply allow anyone who plays the required number of games for their club irrespective of the comp to be permitted.

Absolute rort.

Why is that a problem?

So a junior or women's cricketer can step up for men's finals - or am I misunderstanding?

[Brodlach]

I would have thought they would be treated as separate competitions

Different comp - you cant take kids from SANFL Jnrs and play them in AdFL finals for example.

However not against it if they play for your club, but on the same token then you shouldn't tell others theyt cant play if they play ATCA + PDCA in my opinion.. same diff.

Current examples (made these up, not based on anyone):

Player 1 plays 10 junior cricket matches in the morning in SACA juniors, doesn't play senior cricket, plays Saturday afternoons playing grade cricket.. eligible for finals.

Player 2 players 12 senior cricket matches - 5 in PDCA,, 7 in ATCA, but has played whole season for the same club... not eligible.

Player 3 plays womens cricket all season, no mens matches.. eligible.

It's dumb.

[Tony Clifton]

It sounds reasonable to me

A club's own junior player can play seniors. You want players to progress from juniors to seniors. His path might not be with his SACA club long term. Plus a kid shouldn't be deciding senior finals, however talented they are.

The ATCA/PDCA rule seems sensible. You don't want a gun player who hides away in a one day division or a semi social division with mates suddenly appearing in a 2 day final for instance.
