We have already agreed sats game to be a 10:45 start and 35overs to try and get a game in as wether been so bad last 2 weeks and forecast again for this weekend is rubbish late afternoon

35 overs..

Have to admit, I wouldn't bother playing and would come to work instead

. OverTime. Can just about cope with 45 overs but 40 or less just doesn't seem worth it

cant wait to drive an hour and half to tomorrows game just to look at a sodden pitch and wait for them to give up on playing us.

Despite "freedom day"

happening on Monday I havent seen any updated guidance from ECB and last updates on website still talk of step three from May. Are we expecting any changes?

What do we do with club bars? People inside ? Government restrictions end e.g. order at bar etc. but ECB says not to.

We were due to hold a social event on 23rd and 25th July but unclear on how we should operate.

Surely those should be automatically in line with the general rules around indoor settings. The bigger question would be, can we shine the ball from Monday onwards?

Don't know about other counties, but quite a few Kent League matches have been postponed due to Covid - I heard 5 this weekend are off because of it. Apparently the games will be played after the usual end of the league - not sure there will time to catch up to be honest.

This is my concern....with restrictions easing its reasonable to assume more transmission and more chances of being "pinged" thats why wasnt sure if cricket clubs should "open up" fully as the government allow or stick to ECG guidance. The result of our junior BBQ and fun game( drinking all day) with local rugby club could see us not getting teams out the following week!

there has been a few cancelled in the league i play in due to covid - they just treated them as abandoned/cancelled (as in rain etc) and gave each team 6 points so they won't be replayed

Why would games be off cos of Covid though? Majority players not available due to getting infected?

There have been a few in the 2 Counties called off because of Covid. Including our game tomorrow, which is off because the oppo had a case last week.

The 2 Counties is Average Points this year, if a game is off for any reason then it just gets voided and there have been a few rumblings of sides calling games off and using Covid as the excuse, to protect their average points.

Our game is off tomorrow but due to oppo not being able to get a side out. This gives us 20pts which as has been mentioned on avg points in the Two Counties league benefits us but surprised they didn�t state covid as the reason as a couple of sides in our league have used this on multiple occasions think one has played 7 out of 12 with 6 at home and the 1 away game 10mins from
Them. We are top by 20 odd points but 3rd with Avg points before this weekend.

It will be interesting come the business end of the season what happens if teams start crying off games and it genuinely effects promotion and relegation. I think the league could get quite a few emails. Once they made this year average points it was always going to be a nightmare because it doesn't give anyone an incentive to play.

Was always going to be the way� a few dubious rain offs!
