  • I missed the Season Information Night for Coaches and Managers! Where can I find the recording?
    The recordings are available on YouTube. For Stage 2 and Stage 3 Coaches: https://youtu.be/DJs_b-AucmQ (from Year 6 Boys to Year 10-11 Boys, Year 8-9 Girls and Year 10-11-12 Girls) For Stage 1 Coaches: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnG4wDPyZoc (Year 4 and Year 5 Boys, Year 4-5 Girls, Year 6-7 Girls) These events are designed to connect with coaches and team managers across the Junior Cricket stages for relevant discussions around match day responsibilities, format setup and rules, player rotations, heat and concussion guidelines, and learning opportunities throughout the season. Similar to the events delivered by associations in the past, these nights are designed to answer questions, alleviate uncertainty and help coaches and managers connect with the people that they might see across the upcoming season.
  • What do I do if it's raining?
    Both teams should arrive to the match in preparation for the scheduled start of play, and if conditions are considered unsafe, the match should be cancelled.
  • What do I do if there's a rule breach during the match?
    Note it in the match report
  • What do I do if there's a behavioral incident during a match?
    Note it in the match report.
  • What should I do if a player gets hit in the head during a game?
    Visit the Player Safety page for the MJCC Concussion Policy.
  • What should we do if time is called on our innings?
    If time is called on the first innings of the match, the team batting second will be entitled to face the same number of overs as the team who batted first. For example, if the first innings is limited to 25 overs, then the second innings will also be 25 overs. If time is called on the second innings of the match, the result will be determined by the scores at the same number of overs that the second team faced. For example, if Team A faces their full 30 overs, but Team B only faces 25, the result will be determined by the scores of both teams at 25 overs.
