Well, another call from Craig Cress and I am now, 1-1.
The NUS will propose starting the clock at the first pitch as it had been in the past. However, they sighted a problem of which I never thought - the scorekeepers may not be ready and could cause a delay.
Personally, I think that is a bit weak as the umpire can always check with the scorekeepers after the pre-game and then start the clock afterwards, but this is what the NUS will propose, so I have pulled my change. Without the NUS support, it had no chance of winning.
