Some, in particular Lake Albert skipper Isaac Cooper, were fully in favour of introducing back-to-back games on Saturday and Sunday to compensate for a frustrating opening month where three of four rounds have been washed out.

But Wagga City mentor Josh Thompson insisted rain is one of the variables cricket clubs have to deal with, and was in favour of keeping the current schedule intact.

The Daily Advertiser spoke to a handful of skippers this week on the issue, before Wagga Cricket made the early call on Thursday to cancel this weekend's games.

Wagga Cricket operations manager Paul McKelvie said the season would be reviewed, including the status of the Twenty20 competition.

Cooper, who also helps curate the Bulls' home ground Rawlings Park, felt the club would have no issues about playing Sunday cricket.

"The boys want to play cricket, it's something all clubs and the boards need to discuss. Maybe we have some Sunday catch-up games to get more cricket in," he said.

"It's not everyone's ideal world, cricket on a Saturday and Sunday, but maybe it's something to discuss if this (weather is to continue).

"It's something that needs to be floated. It's something we've spoken about as curators as well.

"It's always hard this time of year, but even in the new year we might be able to catch up some rounds."

Kooringal Colts skipper Keenan Hanigan understood the variables around the festive season which could make Sunday games difficult, but would embrace the concept should Wagga Cricket go down that route.

"An option is if it's possible to play Sunday games," he said.

"It's hard around this time of year with Christmas parties and travel, so it would suit everyone. But I'd certainly be open to it.

"We've played Sunday games before in the past, if the board came together and made that decision, I wouldn't be against it put it that way."

Blues captain Luke Gerhard was content to be guided by whatever officials opt for.

"It's all got to do with the committee and Wagga Cricket, if that's what they want to do," he said.

"I'm sure you'd ask around the clubs and we wouldn't have a problem with it at all. It's totally up to Wagga Cricket to decide what they do there."

Thompson felt two days of cricket on weekends might be a bridge too far for clubs.

"You don't want to be playing two days of cricket for three weeks in a row, just to make up for rounds that got washed out," Thompson said.

"You can't control it anyway. I would stand with the decision just to play as is, you can't help it when you have freak rain events like this.

"I probably wouldn't look at it."
