I was reading off the government website, but even so, not sure how useful those "freedoms" are Savage.

Outdoor sports training not allowed until the 26th October at the earliest. Even then only with 10 others. There's about .5% a day people being double vaccinated, but I still make that around 60 days until the 80% is hit and outdoor sport is back on. I reckon numbers will need to increase to get...

That's not really a good enough reason to compel people to get a medical procedure. At what point do we say no to medical fascism and expect people to actually look after their own health? Besides which, why does anyone care if someone isn't vaccinated and they are? At that point the vaccinated...

That would also mean the DVCA or Cricket Australia couldn't ask such a thing either and frankly, they can't under current law. I know I'm invoking the slippery slope fallacy, but it does have precedent. Imagine you suddenly allow organisations to enquire as to the medical procedures you've had...

Yeh, splitting hairs calling it a "vaccine passport" it's still an invasion of medical privacy no matter what you call it.

I don't believe any third party has the right to demand your medical history and that's how it should be. Saying that you have to "register" implies some over seeing body has to police the registration process and they wouldn't have the right to demand such information either and I believe the...

Not bad, although the coloured clothing is another expense that might stand in the way of casual players.

That should be a permanent change. I know we saw it with our team, far more friends of friends and young guys dads were encouraged to have a hit. More blokes involved means more money coming into clubs. I've always found bowling restrictions for kids ridiculous, you're dealing with 8-10 hours a...

There has to be some kind of balance between winning and actually enjoying playing, otherwise why play? Everyone in this comp is a glorified backyard cricketer, or do you make 20 bucks a game and call yourself a pro on linkedin?

Oh so you actually agree there should be restrictions.

Yeh imagine that, selection committees might have to put some thought into picking sides and skippers might have to show some tactical awareness....oh...on second thought.....

You talk about A grade like it's some big deal. Playing A grade in the DVCA is like being the shiniest turd in the pile. If anyone here was any good you wouldn't be playing in the DVCA. I don't care if you're A grade or Z grade, you're still here to actually enjoy playing some cricket and having...

Geeze that would be fun if you're an all rounder or change bowler; getting to bat at 8 and stand in the field 40 overs watching the same two blokes bowl 20 from each end every game while getting a bat for a couple of overs once every 3 games. Great way to watch your younger players leave for...

We're still half a chance to start on time.

Hurstbridge picked up Thissa from us, he should do well with bat and ball in Mash.

...that still won't win a flag.

Perhaps intentionally looking for a coach outside the current playing group. I always liked this option as I don't care who you are, unconscious (or sometimes completely conscious) bias will always creep into coaching decisions when you promote from within the playing group.

Spoken like someone who's club has only 2 decent bowlers. Doesn't that just make all the other bowlers irrelevant if you're bowling two blokes for the majority of the innings? A better product by who's standards? I would argue that if more players can be added to the competition with a one day...

Toddy doesn't have a family? Come on even our lower grades get family members, our higher grades get family and usually retired players and social members. Shame if none of your club turns up. It might be a bit longer, but that's why you could reduce the amount of time between overs by bowling...

I think we should go to 1 day 50 over games and 40 for below D grade. Start at 12:30 and to save time bowl 5 overs from one end before swapping. A bit more pressure on the batsman, a bit more exciting for the spectators, more opportunities to bat and bowlers might have to tighten up their lines...
