But under-12 Cricket Shepparton action was in full swing on Friday afternoon, with News photographer Megan Fisher capturing some of the contest between Old Students and Notre Dame-St Brendan's at Kialla Park Reserve.
The Students batted first in the A-grade fixture, making 5-83 as Ben O'Brien (22 not out), Jason Singh (16) and Ayden McCrae (16 not out) helped put runs on the board for the home side.
The Tigers proved impossible to oust from the crease though as they made their way to 109 without losing a wicket across 25 overs.
All players retired not out during the innings, with openers Thomas Hudgson (13 not out) and Thomas Mellington (15 not out) eventually returning to the middle to see out the final few deliveries.
