25.01.2022 COVID-19 restrictions, lockdowns and season 2020/2021. Dear BCA members and supporters With new lockdown measures in place until mid-September, the likelihood o...f an early October start is becoming significantly low. As with many things right now, there is great uncertainty around what we can and cant do in the immediate future and even less for what we can do in the mid to long term future (in cricket season talk). The BCA Board are scheduled to meet next Monday and despite a willingness to provide an update as soon as possible, they will not meet earlier to enable this week for information collection to make any relevant decisions fully informed. We appreciate that all Clubs have their own ideas on what should and shouldnt happen but please know that all options will be considered and what was provided in terms of playing dates and formats previously were done so in the hope that a full unaffected season may have been possible. It was looking good until the second wave hit but we all realise that it will almost definitely change now. Contrary to popular belief, Cricket Victoria do not administer anything other than Premier Cricket in Melbourne and therefore can only provide recommendations to the remainder of the state. They cannot provide directives to the BCA or enforce certain ways of play. It is not like our local football leagues who are governed by the AFL, so please understand that we are largely on our own and required to make our own decisions based on local situations. We are very lucky in our sport with great flexibility to play different types of matches and this flexibility will need to be utilised if we are to provide any kind of season in 2020/2021. Nothing is off the table and we will adapt as required. Please respect those that have the extremely difficult task of making these decisions moving forward and delivering competitions and programs to the broader cricketing community. Its a difficult time, we can only do what we can do, and well do the best we can with what we have. We appreciate everyones support in these challenging times.

11.01.2022 With the forecasted weather for Saturday looking much like the last TWO we battled through, the Pennant Committee would like to provide the following updates:- ... A decision on playing or cancelling Junior cricket will be made as close to 7:30am as possible if not earlier. Given the forecast it looks bleak but were hopeful the forecast might be off and we can play some cricket. A decision on Senior cricket will not be made as it is scheduled to be the 2nd day of a 2 day round therefore all matches will continue as scheduled with Umpires and Captains to make the decisions on suitability of play at each venue. We would appreciate all Clubs remind their members that social media is not the place to voice their displeasure or disagreement with any decision that is made on playing cricket or not playing cricket. Last weekend left members of the Pennant Committee, and myself especially, disheartened by the blatant abuse received for calling Juniors off and letting Seniors make their own assessment on play. No further action was taken as a follow up message was deemed appropriate as a first and final warning. Any BCA Club member from now onwards shown to be breaching policies will be sanctioned as deemed appropriate by the BCA Board. We will provide further updates as soon as they become available.

08.01.2022 Today a few of our members helped out at the Independent Country Co-Educational Schools Sports Summer Cup. Schools from Ballarat, Bacchus Marsh, Hamilton, Woodend and Shepparton competed in both boys and girls cricket in year 7/8 and year 9/10 levels. Well done team!

06.01.2022 In light of updated forecast information with the temperature increasing again the Pennant Committee wish to advise that all scheduled matches in the U13 Hollio...ake, U13 Spratling and Stage 2 Junior Girls have been CANCELLED. Senior T20 Finals, for all interested and involved, will go ahead as planned.

05.01.2022 BCA CRICKET CANCELLED Upon advice from CoB ground staff there would be no turf cricket this weekend due to the lack of preparation given the current weather con...ditions. The rain received and the forecasted conditions for the remainder of today and Saturday has allowed the Pennant Committee, upon advice from the Grounds Committee and CoB, to make the decision to cancel all Senior and Junior cricket for Saturday, November 9. YPL matches scheduled for Sunday have also been cancelled so those Clubs involved in hosting can now have a sleep in too. It has been a frustrating start to the cricket season that we are all feeling the effects of. We dont like cancelling cricket but this decision, we believe, is in the best interests of all parties involved.
