Covers are not in use Saturday morning. However, Saturday home sides need to have covers accessible in case of late afternoon showers.
Wicket tables must be covered on Saturday evening at grounds with Sunday games. In the City of Melbourne, these are all grounds except Brens, FP4, Ransford, Ryder, Smith and Walker West.
Covers and hessian must be dried and put away after Sunday's play, and tables roped off.
