Too late now, but would love to have seen just 6 teams in A grade, and just playing 2 day matches. Rather than promote B Grade teams on the back of the demise of A grade clubs. Might improve the standard? Unsure how finals would go, just putting it out there. And in fact, just 2 day matches for...

I think the new president and board missed a golden opportunity to put a stamp on the competition by abolishing the reserve grades and maybe forming a new structure (e.g. More 2 day games). But otherwise while people will be happy with just one Sunday game, some won't be happy with returning on...

Said this before, but there needs to be more incentive for people to take up umpiring. Every other job in the world gets payrises, but umpires always get paid the same do they not? Pay them more to do it. Then those switching comps may stay, and retiring players may take it up and then hopefully...

And have any of those clubs appointed one?

I'm certainly no Rosebank fan, but they have run a pretty successful club for decades. Could be worse options for running our comp..

Have heard similair noise Harsha. Have heard Rosebank are right in to Keon Park's Jake McSwain and Northern Socials are making a play for James Bonnici. Not sure how true on either of them. Club-wise Baseballers to also come to Jika shield to make way for departing Rosebank and United. Olympic...

Not sure if Lalor's current form will be enough to knock Rivergum off Harsha. Last weeks results makes the other end of the ladder interesting, Colts getting a tie gives them breathing space, but Keon Park finishing the season strongly and should beat Northcote and avoid relegation. Also think...

Thanks Sandra.

How come it was only Colts, not Trinity getting points getting deducted? Surely it takes two to tango as both needed an outright to be any chance? The bigger problem in cricket is top grades dropping players down to qualify them for lower grade finals (Chargers for example?), and seeing...

Having an official at each match would help solve the problem. Can't just say "it was a fight, move on" Can't have games unfinished. And I didn't say anything about restructuring the comp, just aim to have an umpire each game. Stricter penalties is fine, but in this instance whose story does the...

Heard a whisper that there was a game in the one day comp called off due to a brawl and rocks being thrown? Horrendous if it's true. How would the comp solve that one? One clubs word against another? There needs to be a bigger incentive for people to umpire, so we could get an official for...

Are there fines for player scores not being put in on MyCricket? If so, comp would be making a fortune this year.

Long time, first time.. Fixturing is a farce. Why 7 one day games if there's no one day final? Why not have 10 team grades, 9 2 day matches, makes the season a fraction shorter, no Sunday games and an extra week off after Xmas. Separate comps for people who like one dayers or 20/20.
