16 17THE SPIRIT OF THE GAME / PLAYER BEHAVIOUR VSDCA FIXTURES SEASON 2020 / 2021
Cricket is a game that owes much of its unique appeal to the fact that it is ALL ELEVENS
expected to be played not only within its laws, but also within the SPIRIT OF SOUTH/EAST GROUP NORTH/WEST GROUP
THE GAME. Any action, which is seen to abuse this spirit, causes injury to the
Round 1 November 21, 2020
game itself. The major responsibility for ensuring the spirit of fair play rests
CAULFIELD v OAKLEIGH WERRIBEE v WILLIAMSTOWN
with the Captains. ELSTERNWICK v NOBLE PARK KEW v PLENTY VALLEY
ORMOND v CROYDON MELTON v HOPPERS CROSSING
1. There are two Laws, which place the responsibility for the team’s conduct BAYSWATER v BALWYN PRESTON v BRUNSWICK
firmly on the Captain. BOX HILL v MT WAVERLEY COBURG v ST BERNARD’S OC
Responsibilities of Captains BRIGHTON v ENDEAVOUR HILLS IVANHOE v TAYLORS LAKES
The Captains are responsible at all times for ensuring that play is conducted MOORABBIN v MALVERN YARRAVILLE v ALTONA
within the Spirit of the Game as well as within the Laws.
Players’ Conduct Round 2 November 28, 2020
In the event of any player failing to comply with the instructions of an NOBLE PARK v OAKLEIGH BRUNSWICK v PLENTY VALLEY
umpire, criticising his decisions by word or action, or showing dissent, or CROYDON v ELSTERNWICK PRESTON v WILLIAMSTOWN
generally behaving in a manner which might bring the game into disrepute, ORMOND v MOORABBIN MELTON v YARRAVILLE
the umpire concerned shall, in the first place, report the matter to the other CAULFIELD v BAYSWATER HOPPERS CROSSING v ST BERNARD’S OC
umpire and to the player’s Captain requesting the latter to take action. BALWYN v BOX HILL WERRIBEE v IVANHOE
2. Fair and Unfair Play MT WAVERLEY v BRIGHTON KEW v ALTONA
