StevePark Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 which cricket fixtures arnt completed?? Ones that are washed out (1 day, limited over, T20 etc.). Yes, there is a points system in place, but they aren't rearranged and played at a later date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backless Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 (edited) Can't think of another sport where teams don't fullfill ALL of their fixtures....only in speedway Cricket - The are any number of County games, Test matches, One Day Internationals, you name it that don't reach a conclusion because of rain. They share out league points, even for matches that never start. They even have a method of determining results (the equivalent of which for speedway would have the bobble hats in dreamland). The Duckworth / Lewis method (sexy name) was dreamt up as a number of one day cup matches were determined by a bowler from each side taking it it turn to bowl at a single stump, often in the rain with the team of the first bowler to hit the stump progressingto the next round of the competition. Only in Speedway, eh? Got a date to suggest for the restaging yet? Edited October 21, 2012 by Backless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The day of the PL Pairs, England v SouthAfrica was due to be played at Cardiff. 50 overs match. England faced less than 6 overs before the game was abandoned. Batsmens' scores don't appear in their records & the match was never restaged. "Accounted for"? No result. next fri sacky Read all the posts....rather than the ones you can pick holes in with your im always right agenda...oh how's kings knee injury??

bullet Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Seems noone read the statement the same as me. Scunny went through because the Edinburgh meetings were removed and a beat Workington on aggregate over the two meetings. It must have been known this could happen all along as it was mentioned several times at scunny aggregates could come into it. Therefore Workington have themselves to blame. If you had won on aggregate over the two you would be through and I would have had no complaints Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arson fire Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Quite correct... Your point is?? Try reading all the post - that'll prevent the final from going ahead at Somerset. I read it all, but so what??....delay the final and extend the season....is that not possible...?Will the season be extended if both finals are rained off?? Or will the whole season be declared void?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Point is rules were known so we got through on merit. You have not been cheated you are clinging on to speculation of something that may of happened but didn't and acting like it was a certainty. If we lose on Friday then the second leg gets rained off (assume no replay date as Sunday is last day of season isn't it) then I expect Somerset to be given the title. Maybe next year we should bring in a cricket rule and have automatic 2 points each for a rain off. World stop all this hassle at end of season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duffyscouse Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Then scarra - don't post - if you aren't dealing in facts - I don't think isn't basis of an argument or post of any validity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucifer sam Posted October 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Why couldn't it have been run today? Edinburgh are only allowed to run on Fridays and Saturdays. And next Firday is too late - it's Somerset's date for the final. It's sad that Wokrington didn't get their 100/1 shot to win at Armadale. But a decision was needed in the light that the match hadn't been completed on time. All the best Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
