11 ADVERSE WEATHER (See Rule 21) In the event of active thunderstorm activity in the immediate vicinity of the playing area, all play is to cease immediately and all players, umpires and officials are to find safe shelter without delay RAIN With the agreement of the Official Umpires (or Team Captains if Official Umpires are not appointed) that the safety of players is not in jeopardy, play may commence when raining / precipitating. However, should a decision be taken to suspend play due to precipitation, play may not recommence until, in the opinion of the Umpires / Team Captains, the precipitation has completely ceased. LIGHTNING SAFETY Electrical storms and the presence of lightning is difficult to predict and can be localised in nature. The following guideline (which applies to all Senior, Junior, Veteran and representative matches) is to assist match leaders (umpires, captains and junior coaches/ managers) to make a duty of care decision when faced with weather conditions causing lightning within the proximity of active cricket matches. If lightning and thunder (flash to bang) are separated by a period of time of less than 30 seconds, then the lightning is close enough (within 10km) to be a threat. Match leaders are advised to immediately suspend play and all players and officials are to move to SAFE areas. Common sense should also prevail. If lightning is observed in your vicinity, leave the field. Do not hesitate to take the initiative and lead your players off even if the opposition and/or umpires do not agree. SAFER AREAS DURING A LIGHTNING EVENT: ü Enclosed vehicles with windows closed (car, van, bus or similar) ü Substantial enclosed buildings ü Low ground, sheltering in clumps of low bushes ü Trees of uniform height, e.g. forest or large group of trees UNSAFE AREAS INCLUDE: û High ground û Open ground û Water û Isolated or tall trees û Near outdoor metal structures such as fences, gates, poles, seating û Insubstantial structures such as shade shelters and picnic sheds A period of 30 minutes should elapse before play is resumed, that is, after seeing the last lightning flash, wait 30 minutes before leaving shelter. If during this time lightning is again observed, the 30 minutes starts again. 2018/19 RDCA Senior Handbook v1.1 Page 11

13 GAME DAY CHECK LIST JLT Sport Game Day and Training Checklist The URL for the JLT paperwork is:- This checklist is a basic pre-game/training inspection tool that helps to identify safety concerns and record your club s actions. In each RDCA scorebook, there is a checklist form that should be used by all teams for every game or there is a smartphone app which can be found under JLT Cricket Match Day for both Android and ios. On the JLT form see page 3, point 2. Field of Play, point 2.6:- All Boundary markers (lines, ropes, hats, etc.) at least 3 yards/2.74 metres away from any off-field hazards including but not limited to fencing, concrete gutters, trees or other solid structures which may cause injuries to cricketers. Due to incidents that have arisen in local cricket across Australia and the resultant legal actions taken, the RDCA recommends that any ground that has such obstacles, then clubs should reduce the boundary accordingly. This will include goal posts that are left in place and existing fences and concrete gutters. Your club executive may need to discuss with council officers the need for them to remove any existing goal posts for the safety of cricketers. 2018/19 RDCA Senior Handbook v1.1 Page 13
