I
have split the 10
Clubs into two groups of 5, 4 games in the group, group winners meet
in a final at fives in September
Cliff Greenhill
31st January 2012
Gentlemen,
2012 Fixtures
It has proved abnormally
troublesome since the introduction of leagues with an excess of 10
teams, and nigh on impossible, to match all sides on a home and away
basis, thus resulting in an imbalance of games. Hosting the Olympic
Games within the area has resulted in further chaos, together with all
X1 requesting deferments and non availability of grounds has proved “a
bridge to far”
I list below the requests that we were unable to achieve, and further
the double headers that have proved unavoidable.
Hainault 5th & 6th X1 on the 16th June
Stanford Le Hope 3rd & 4th X1 on the 17th
July, although their 5th are away.
Pegasus 3rd & 4th X1 on the 28th July
Ilford 3rd & 4th on the 25th August
Southend on Sea 3rd & 4th X1 on the 1st
September
Orsett 3rd & 4th X1 on the 1st
September, although their 5th are away.
You may note that also several games are only 1 or 2 weeks apart and
these at the start or the end of the season.
Should any Clubs have extra ground availability in the above weeks, please contact relevant Club.
Many thanks,
Michael E Jones.PLAY-CRICKET FIXTURES UPLOADED

CLUB CONTACTS
Thanks from:- Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research Money raised at the Annual League Presentation Dinner
PLEASE NOTE
I have adjusted and changed all the Cat 3 Exempt registered players who have
been in the UK for four year or more from the start of the season to Cat 1 as
per the new regulations.
It is of the utmost importance that clubs check players to confirm that they are
in the correct Category as it is Clubs responsibility to ensure that all players
are in the correct Category.
Some of the dates shown as entry into the UK where somewhat strange and I have
left them to be corrected.
If you have any queries or wish to changed dates but are unable to do so please
email me with any changes that you may require.
IT IS YOUR CLUB'S RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THAT ALL PLAYERS ARE REGISTERED
CORRECTLY PRIOR TO THE START OF THE SEASON.
George Salmon - League Play-Cricket

SN ESSEX PREMIER CRICKET LEAGUE
Suggestion to change the format for the 2012 Season as follows:
1) All games to be played under the rules of the longer format with the following amendments: a) Number of overs reduced to 110
b) Start at 12.00 noon
c) Overs split 58/52
d) One break of 40 minutes between the innings
for “High Tea”.
e) One drinks (+comfort) break during each
innings of 5 minutes at the end of 32 overs in each innings.
f) Over rate of 17 per hour to be strictly
enforced with points deductions
g) Bonus points to be adjusted pro rata.
ADVANTAGES
The longer game produces better cricket and gives both batsmen and bowlers in
particular more opportunities to develop. The 110 overs match with one break
removes the need for providing lunch and also cuts down the time required to
play the match.
If the change above is rejected and the current dual format is favoured by a majority of Clubs the following change is suggested:
In the 50 over game
A minimum of 5 bowlers must bowl but;
2 bowlers can bowl up to a maximum of 15 overs
2 bowlers must bowl a minimum of 5 overs.
This change will give the captain more options and encourage more imaginative thinking.
This also addresses the fact that a good bowler is restricted in his performance but a good batsman can bat on to get a hundred. As it stands a bowler can bowl no more than 90 overs for half the season.
