Sure there could be a rendition of "for he's a jolly good fellow" squeezed in there somehow.
Confirming what was inevitable.
I was just starting to get in to the groove after those difficult first few nets.
Have to keep perspective I guess when there’s folk wired up to machines struggling for every breath.

It will be impossible to cram a 5 month cricket season into 3 months,unless league games are played most Sunday’s.The cups would seriously suffer though.
I'd be staggered if the season ever gets started
All of the NEPL and a good chunk of the DCL play in Sunday leagues. And asking Saturday cricketers to double up every weekend would see a load of cancellations imo.
I totally agree. All leagues should agree no promotion or relegation for starters as season will be so short.
If it was play each other once I think they should have it cos the competition would still have integrity.
By the time you add in a couple of rained off games it may become a mockery. I think sides will struggle to field 2 teams on the same day so some leniency will be needed for this unique season. Can't imagine umpires will be too keen to commence this year either

Only 1 up and 1 down in each league. Play each other once.
Reduce the amount of cups

Wouldn’t have thought we will have much Cricket while football is in lockdown

Didn’t the first season of the DCL not operate on that basis. Something like 26 teams playing each other once. Top half formed Div 1, bottom half formed Div 2.
Nothing should be considered until there’s a handle on the virus, it’s going to be a long wait

Think this is the current plan. If only half season avaliable.

Bollocks! Pisses it down in August becomes farce. Play for a trophy like good old days.
Even if you got say 7 of 11 played it’s enough chances to do it on the pitch. Loads of major sporting events settled over less.
