EXAMPLE OF TIME MANAGEMENT

There are things you have to know. Think about them now. You may need to list them. The list will include, but not be limited to:

special regulations for the competition, such as

how to deal with stoppages
limitations on bowlers
if match cannot be completed, how is result calculated
scheduled start time
scheduled or estimated time for finish
where is the ground
how long will it take to get there
are there any special travel problems on that day
what special problems exist at that ground
how experienced is your colleague
what are the captains' names

Much of this information can be found before you leave home, preferably at least the day before the match. It might take a few phone calls or text messages, but it will be well worth the effort, especially to have a little chat with your colleague so that you are not quite strangers when you meet. If you have all that information before you leave to go to the ground, you have taken the first step towards having an enjoyable match. Why does it help? Because it removes tension; you are prepared
