Coronavirus and local cricket

[Dadsarmy73]

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.

I agree, in these unparalleled times, the norm goes out the window. Hopefully the lockdown measures will be over before the end of the summer. People will be desperate to get out and enjoy some normal life. Let’s play a normal (but heavily shortened) season as much as we can before the winter, the next wave of the pandemic and lockdown again

If there are no games at all this season, which is what I expect, how will the pitches be after over a year with no games?

Be like bowling greens without cricketers to wreck them!!

Personally not keen, even weather apart. Could end up with a completely false representation of teams in divisions if settled over 6/7 games in my opinion of course

The T20 vs Aussies in July been cancelled yet?

Not as of yet no. Only a matter of time I think.

Airedale & Wharfedale Senior Cricket League (Encompasses Leeds to Harrogate to Skipton areas - 36 teams) 2020 season suspended indefinitely and no clear date yet when season will start. All subscriptions for the season refunded.

Would hope to play half the season. With no promotion relegation. As like you say cant get a decisive result. But can play some cricket at least.

If this lot clears up can’t see a full season so promotion and relegation will be difficult but am sure lads will simply enjoy fresh air and playing know I will enjoy just being outside with a beer watching

Its a load of bollocks, no more dangerous than flu

Wise man!!

Probably end up playing friendlies. Although at this stage I doubt there will be any cricket this summer.

Be no cricket at all this summer if the government’s press conference is out to go by. This lockdown going last 6 months.

 

[Old Timer]

Need to look to indoor leagues starting n October to get any cricket this year. I think the numbers playing indoors this winter will shot up.

They said ‘varying degrees’ for 6 months.

It may be that cricket under certain restrictions can get through that, who knows.

Yer. They'll be constantly looking at the data and adapting measures accordingly.

Would imagine it will be inner cities hardest hit.
