Earlier this month the Hampshire Cricket League held its AGM, during which a number of rule and constitution changes were proposed. To summarise the carried changes:

• Proposals to change, add or delete from the Constitution or Rules of Play now require a simple majority (at least 51%).
• Fielding circles to be introduced in County 2 and County 3 North & South for the 2017 season
• Any club withdrawing from the league automatically takes one of the relegation places for their division
• Safety rulings regarding short-pitched “bouncer” balls

All other proposals did not carry. Full details can be found in this document: Hampshire Cricket League – Proposed Constitution & Rule Changes 2017 (.doc)

The indoor team had another good win against Peartree Bees last night to maintain their 100% record and make it 6 wins from 6. A good team batting performance saw us reach 165-3 in the 12 overs with all batsmen making it past double figures. Chris (26*), Bob(27*) and Kev S (18) were the top three scorers. We were then solid with the ball and in the field, restricting Peartree to 105-5 to win by 60 runs. Shiv and Bob took 2 wickets each and Chris one. The result leaves us well placed in the league table with three games to go.

Nets continue this Thursday at 8pm at the Ageas Bowl. Attendance has been good so far.
We are considering carrying at least one of the nets on for 2 hours to help with the high turnout so please let me know if you are coming and if you would be happy to stay on till 10.00.
The deadline for booking a slot is 12.00 on Tuesdays.
