NMCA - All Contacts Kelly Reserve After an extensive audit of MyCricket and close scrutiny of the rules the NMCA Executive have disqualified Fiji Victoria CC from last weekends semi-final in the Kelly Reserve Grade. West Preston will now play Strathewen at Barling North in the Grand Final. West Preston are the higher ranked team and will have Home Team duties. The problem occurred when a player (who was a substitute) was not flagged on MyCricket as a substitute, and consequently showed as having played 5 matches when in fact he only played in 4. This is a salutary lesson for all clubs to manage their records and be across qualification rules. Grades with 12 players A reminder to all clubs of qualification rules for club cricket that involve playing 12 players. A player who has played in a two day match in Jika, Quick or Kelly (if qualified) can play in a club cricket grade. However, if he is selected in that team then the team is then restricted to 11 players only. Rain Predicted With rain predicted on the weekend clubs should note the Umpires and Captains Handbook in relation to Time Lost and the Fitness of Ground for Play Provisions Home teams to ensure plenty of sawdust is available. (As the lower placed teams need to win I further advise that these teams bring plenty of sawdust as well). Please note rules for 2 day Grand Finals 3.12.3 There is no provision to schedule a one day game in all Semi Finals, Preliminary Finals and Grand Final matches should play be lost on day one. 3.12.4 3.12.4.1 Playing time for Grand Finals can be extended to make up for lost overs due to weather interruptions. General two day weather interruption rules apply for day 1. If less than the maximum scheduled overs (80 or 70) are not bowled on Day 1 then play can be extended at the start of day two (30 minutes) and at the end of day two (30 minutes). 3.12.4.2 If, due to time lost on the first day of the Grand Final, the team batting first declares its innings closed and leaves the team batting second the minimum scheduled overs (80/70), then the team batting second must make the runs to win. However, if play has been delayed or interrupted for more than thirty (30) minutes by bad weather during the innings of the side batting second and the entitled overs have not been bowled by 6.30pm (DST), then play shall cease at the completion of the over in progress at 6.30pm (DST). The result is a draw and the higher positioned team on the ladder will be declared the winner. Prelims Preliminary Finals shall be played under the home and away two (2) day match conditions. Please contact me if you have any match day issues and Good Luck on the weekend. Bill Anderson General Manager
