I can see the whole next season being scrapped now. With these individual lock downs in suburbs, what happens if say, a team finds itself with a home ground in an open suburb, but the majority of their players in locked down suburbs, unable to play? If say Greensborough, Mill Park, South Morang...

Think you need to get your hearing checked.

Having to bring your own food and drinks too, I mean really? Everyone pretty much uses throw away plastic cups or washes the glasses after use so why ban that? You can go to a restaurant and eat with cutlery that who knows how many people have used before you, of course they are washed too. You...

At the end of the day, you're all touching the same cricket ball so I wonder just how realistically effective most of these guidelines are if someone takes the field without knowing they are infected. Would probably be more effective to allow shining the ball with hand sanitiser.

As long as you're not snogging your team mate the old ^5 should be ok.

That was what I was thinking. Say a player tests positive mid way through a game, does that game get called off and teh club have to forfeit the next round in that grade due to all the players being in 14 day quarantine or are the DVCA going to expect the club to have a whole reschuffle of their...

Ill bite - you could train in 10-15 man groups for an hour or so once a week, so start at 5 with three groups, 5-6, 6-7 and 7-8. Everyone could purchase their own ball to use so no waxing of the good nuts. Or you know, just not train at all.

Tim Tams? No that's baked BBQ chicken wing stains thanks very much, we at BU actually know how to put on decent arvo teas.

I understand, but no one forces clubs to enter it. As long as there's good numbers then the comp will probably remain, if numbers dwindle then it wont continue. I'm sure there are a lot of blokes that don't play in it because they can't get there on time, but that might just give other blokes at...

It's played on a Tuesday night though, so you'd have been at training anyway. Plus for most of the playing group it's a night off to sink beers.

I'm stuck in F grade, I fail to see that threat! Hit the freeway and get off at Edgars road and you're almost there.

What's your problem with the stars? I've always found them to be a good side both on and off the field.

They're still closer than Whittlesea and Panton Hill.

So who's nominating for president?

With all the talk of a 6 month period of "social distancing" etc, I'd say pre-seasons are well and truly gone and probably October as well. Might this be an opportunity to try a few things that otherwise the competition might not have entertained? Perhaps lower grades to play all 1 day matches...

If we actually get on the track next season, there could very well be no imports for teams. I wonder how that might affect things.

Would they continue that though even at club level? At this stage who knows though, with some luck we can get ontop of this quickly and get everything back to normal. I expect by the end of the week though to be pretty much locked in our houses!

Once the virus peaks and a heard immunity kicks in, there's no longer any point in shutting down society. Besides which, shutting everything down for more than 6-8 weeks will almost destroy our economy, so I think either way we will be playing cricket next season. Although, the DVCA might have...

Strike rates on both sides were not high with the ground being as slow as it was. It was the cluster of wickets lost in the middle order that hurt, the slow run rate was fine as long as you don't lose too many wickets. If we'd gotten to the 60th with wickets in hand needing the 100 runs, its a...

Either way some great performances will miss out. Glad I'm not actually picking the side!
