    If we still have the spare day on Monday (public holiday), then a full or partial heat out shouldn’t matter. If not, then I’d imagine side batting first would do so under same rules as home and away. If side batting first is lower ranked, then they’d need to give higher ranked side same amount...

    Nothing is on toast when defending the boundaries at Research. 175 was a good score after a couple of hiccups early, but 200 plus was needed. Bowled pretty well but in “my opinion”, should’ve brought the spinner on from start or much earlier than 18th over to take pace off ball for Fisher, who...

    Don’t know if this is the right place to mention this, and I haven’t heard anything in DVCA socials but Graeme Pavey is representing Australia in the over 60’s World Cup in India v England tomorrow. Worth a shout out and congratulations🤙

    I think the issue is ‘smart’ batsmen and batting. Bowling is mostly pedestrian that preys on the ability of batters to be patient, seize momentum and build an innings. 9 out of 10 if not 10/10 batsmen these days get themselves out via impatience and poor shot selection, not good deliveries...

    As we all have in life mate. Myself Bricko and his dad all had a good laugh on Thursday night, especially with your post instigating an instantaneous call from Epping CC.🤣🤙

    Especially when you consider that some main grounds aren’t getting used this weekend because both one’s and two’s are away. We’ve already had our thirds play at our main ground instead of one’s and two’s, plus had both our top sides scheduled at home with the two’s playing at our thirds and...

    On the subject of T20’s. I know Research isn’t the MCG but I saw one of the bigger sixes in a while tonight from Kam Bygate, which cleared the new double level pavilion on the full by a long way and was retrieved from the scout hall. Can hit a ball the big fella🤙

    I was there and certainly not a tie, unless the scorers had one all mighty session on the beers and screwed up by 60 runs! I’ll check it out though. *Just checked with our scorer and past President and he has no idea, so guessing it’s an error.*

    Quite correct but it’s been a very long time since we’ve beaten Diamo, so we’ll at least enjoy the moment🤙
