UPDATE

All Clubs in 12 Players per Team (Interchange Player Grades) i.e. B, C & D Grades

An error has been highlighted in the BHRDCA Rules pertaining to the 12 Players/Team (Interchange Player Grades) and the BHRDCA CoM has determine that the Rule as redrafted below will temporarily apply to all Two Day matches in these grades for the remainder of the 2018/19 season.

Rule 9(e)(i) now reads –

1. In Two Day Grades (as specified by the CoM), for Two Day matches only, Clubs may select 12 registered players, of which one player on Day 1 MUST be interchanged for another on Day 2. If Team A loses 10 wickets on Day 1, then the substitute player can bat in the second innings, only when that second innings continues into or commences on Day 2 i.e. when the second interchange player is available.

NOTE: If the second team (Team B) bats on Day 1, and the Day 1 Interchange player bats in that innings, then the Day 2 player cannot bat in that innings, regardless of whether the Day 1 player was out or not out at the close of play on Day 1.

NOTE: This Rule DOES NOT apply to ONE DAY MATCHES in the designated Interchange Player Grades.

It will be included for permanent consideration at the 2019/20 Annual Rules Meeting

An update from the FHCC Sec. from last nights Statewide T20 match between Forest Hill CC & Nth Balwyn CC

Forest Hill ventured out to Macleay Park pretty excited to be a part of the state-wide competition and confident they could be competitive. North Balwyn won the toss and chose to send the Zebras in. Charles Erasmus and Jarryd Taun-Henderson (23 off 12) got the innings under way and struck the ball nicely from the get go. Charles departed in the 4^th over which brought Aaron Taun-Henderson (42 off 26) together with Jarryd, and those two ensured the run rate hovered around the 10 an over mark for the early period.

The Zebras continued to get solid contributions throughout the innings, with Matt Grace (31 off 15) and Jason Thompson (18 off 12) controlling the middle period nicely. The wicket was quite slow and scoring became tricky towards the back end but Forest Hill kept knocking the ball around eventually finishing 7/167 off their 20 overs.

With a good score to defend, Forest Hill were confident that if they executed their plans well, they would give themselves every chance. Jason & Aaron got the innings under way and were able to really restrict the North Balwyn bats, keeping them to around 6 runs an over for the first 5 overs. From there the Zebras bowlers and fielders were able to keep the pressure on right throughout the North Balwyn innings, eventually dismissing them for 108. Matt Grace (3/17 off 3) and Josh King (3/19 off 3.3) were the standouts with the ball.

Overall a great performance with the team and club looking forward to the next game in the competition.

Congrats to FHCC for winning their first game of the Statewide tournament, which puts them through to the next round.

All Clubs,

Permits for players to play in lower Grades are issued for individual matches and DO NOT carry forward when a 2 Day match, is reduced to a 1 Day match (weather, extreme conditions etc), such as occurred last weekend i.e. any Permits issued last week were for a Two Day game and must be resubmitted in Grades where the match has now been reduced to a One Day game.

The Permit Register for each Weekend can be found on the BHRDCA Website > Club & Playing Resources > Match Permits and then to the 2018/19 Permits tab
