yes andy i agree it is a good idea, it will take a bit of getting used to just. I am sure there will be quite a few penalties this season though.
re Taito and the over rate - larne bowled 46 odd overs in 2hrs 30mins on Saturday. No lengthy debates between overs and players not being moved every 2 or 3 balls. Teams need to be a bit sharper in their team plans and it will work. Better than long para-legal appeals later in the season.
just read my post and the bit in the middle i obviously meant the difference between a win and a loss, oops
I know there wernt many games on saturday but i was wondering what everyones thoughts are on the new rule reagrding having your overs bowled in 3 hours 5 minutes?
From playing on saturday i can see there being a few games decided this way this season. Laurelvale were penalised 18 runs on saturday but it didnt end up crucial but in a close game this could be the difference between a win and a draw. I know we were running between overs and completing them as fast as we could and were still only 5 minutes inside. It could be very difficult if we are chasing leather around for say a 250 or 260 score.
The logic is certainly correct but i can see a lot of teams struggling to get their overs bowled in time.
TAYTO .SOMEONE BET ME U BROKE IT TRYING TOO GET INSIDE YOUR WALLET ;) PS GOOD WIN ON SAT .
ronnie, thanks , the finger isnt broken, just dislocated, so i will hopefully be fine for saturday.
ref: Another North Down controversy
Definitely, JT playing rugby instead of batting at Lisburn!!!
Can someone explain the chaos over the Neil Russell 'ban?'
Was there a ban or what?
Has the season started off with another North Down controversy?
found the new site guys! http://www.irishprovincialcricket.com/NORTHERN/index.shtml
sorry to see downpatrick skipper paul tait having to head to hospital yesterday with what looked like a badly broken bowling finger, had wanted to congratulate him on a fine captains innings (the things people will do to save paying a wager :-)
NCU site now longer works because cricket europe have stopped being hosts to NCU. Results for Div 1 Sec Prem 1,2&3 can be found on the cricketeurope Ireland site but you won't get lower Divs. Apparently the new site was to be up and running this week however if it is i've yet to find it.
davy , think its closed down just shorter version on CRICKET EUROPE , THINK BE GOOD ALSO TOO POST RESULTS ON HERE (EDITOR???)
The NCU site will be available again from this week onwards.
has anybody else got a problem with the ncu website? when i click on it, it goes on the the irish cricket website?
Re Paul Sayers
It isn't a rumour Paul unfortunately, our original pro, Juan Theron, hasn't been released by his state side, due to fear of injury, both to CI's and his frustrations. However I feel we could have signed an even better pro in Paul Rofe the former Australian A and Northamptonshire player. I am very sure Coops is more than happy with his move...
