Flatts’ player-coach Rahji Edness has lashed out at Bermuda Cricket Board’s (BCB) decision to scrap the final round of First Division 50 Over matches.Any hope the Eastern Counties team had of gaining promotion to the top tier next season was dashed after the BCB cancelled last weekend’s First Division matches due to Tropical Storm Leslie.All teams were awarded five points for a No Result which was enough to land Somerset the championship and with it the sole automatic promotion spot up for grabs. It also earned second placed Western Stars the right to play Premier side Cleveland County in a relegation/promotion playoff match.Flatts, the only team to beat Somerset in the league last season, were forced to settle for third.Incidentally, Flatts were due to face Somerset in their final league outing last weekend.With so much in terms of promotion riding on the match, Flatts’ player-coach Edness is baffled as to why the BCB scrapped it rather than reschedule.“Knowing the importance of the game, why couldn’t it be played this weekend?”, he asked. “I understand safety had to come first with the storm, but I didn’t think they would cancel the match and I am very upset they did because we were still looking forward to playing that game.“The BCB just came right out and said they will not be rescheduling the matches. They didn’t even give us a chance knowing how important the last round of matches were.”The BCB did not immediately respond to questions concerning its decision not to reschedule last weekend’s final round of First Division matches.Flatts had four matches cancelled and deemed a No Result last season, something Edness claims is unacceptable.“There are far too many No Results in the league and this is something that has been happening for the past three years,” he said. “The BCB have not put any emphasis on rescheduling games and clubs are paying them for this service.“We pay the BCB an administration fee to schedule matches but for the past three years we have not had a full season and we do not get reimbursed which is not fair. At one stage this season we had four weeks of no BCB sanctioned matches and every year we have a big gap like this.“They always say they want to develop cricket in Bermuda. But how are you going to develop cricket when there’s just not enough games being played in the season to develop players.“Perhaps the clubs may have to consider taking their own initiative and arrange games between themselves because the BCB is not helping this league. There is no progression from this administration.”Flatts and the BCB clashed earlier this year after Flatts’ fast bowler Kevin Hurdle was banned for a year after being found guilty of kicking Stars player/coach Andre Manders and showing serious dissent at an umpire’s decision during an abandoned First Division league match at St John’s Field.Hurdle is not be eligible to play again until June 18, 2013.Flatts claim that some of the procedures during their player’s BCB disciplinary hearing were “prejudiced” and have now taken their case to the Ministry of Sports Alternate Dispute Resolution arbitration panel.
