Would be thinking if it is allowed this year, it’s going to be hard to get people out of the club rooms and off the beers.
think everyone will be keen for them

Have clubs been sounding out their members about who's up for an October return and November start, particularly in lower grades, and with what results, numbers-wise?

Heckmann back to south morang what happened things didnt work out at lalor stars? they seemed like a great fit.
Heard something about playing three or so games at Lalor, hurt his shoulder and decided he wanted to go back to coach at South Morang. I may be wrong

Anyone else surprised playing additional overs did not get up? Even 40 to 50? I could not believe the majority of clubs did not support a hybrid style format. Not sure it will do anything for development of the game with bowlers restricted and batsmen who take a bit of time to get going shunnted into lower X1's. I wonder how many committees sought input from their players or did they make the decisions on behalf of the players???

It would have been great to watch some 50 over cricket. But at the same time, 40 over cricket is a pretty good format at well with how early games are probably going to finish.
Those boys that want to bat slow can practice batting a bit quicker.
40 overs is still 240 balls.

Yeah I would have liked to see 45/50 overs in the top flight but I think the deciding factor was all the times play will be stopped for covid reasons (cleaning the ball/hands ect) the day could drag on

I think the 14th of November was thrown around as the start date, but it seems we won't be able to use the clubrooms at least initially. I don't really understand that rule to be honest, but will be happy to get back on the park.

The wording from the government and cricket Victoria themselves has been a tad bit confusing. The understanding I have, the teams will be able to train in groups of 2 with a coach present until November 1..
November 1 groups of 10 can train together. 2 groups of 10 on an oval and then another group of 10 in the nets which will be ongoing.
Play is permitted from November 1, but CV have suggested a 2 week training block before any games.

From the Leader..
All cricket in Melbourne remains in a holding pattern, with Cricket Victoria confirming club training is not yet allowed. Sunday’s State Government announcements about the easing of COVID-19 restrictions left many cricketers confused about when they could train. But on Monday morning Cricket Victoria said players face another two weeks of waiting. “Training can’t commence until after November 1,’’ Cricket Victoria competitions manager Darren Anderson said. “However, there is a possibility it might get brought forward a week if all numbers go well. “It’s fingers crossed sort of thing that we can get back and train — and that’s for juniors and seniors.’’
What's most pleasing is that if Metro follows Regional Vic's pathway we should have 20 people inside and 70 outside, so most clubs can at least operate somewhat normally?
In all honesty you only need 2 weeks of training for Park cricket IMO, bring on the 14th.
