    VTCA Season 2019/20

    Nice little puff piece in the paper for Sammy Kandage and crew today. Might make it difficult for a few clubs to recruit from Sri Lanka from now on.

    Rumours YCCC are hunting a big Bear to replace him. Would be quite the recruiting coup

    VTCA Season 2019/20

    Most likely after Xmas. Would be more sensible to have a 18 round competition with Tuesday T20s for points (1sts only) and Saturday 1 day games if starting late or after Xmas. While I applaud people for thinking outside the box, I don't think the idea of 40 over matches split over 2 tuesdays is...

    St Albans awarded the premiership going by their facebook page.

    VTCA Season 2019/20

    Pretty clear in the rules and regulations. Similar wording for subbies and premier. E145 Pitches – Care of E145.1 In Grand Final matches, the pitch shall not be watered at any time between 10:00am Saturday and the actual finishing time on Sunday on any weekend in which play has been scheduled...

    VTCA Season 2019/20

    From my understanding it was pretty clear the watering and repair of the footholes was intentional and designed to limit the impact of St Albans spin bowlers. YCCC been trying to play it off as an honest mistake by the curator, but surely the curator who has 30 years experience doing wickets...

    VTCA Season 2019/20

    Anyone hear about what happened at YCCC on Saturday night/Sunday morning? Apparently YCCC curator filled in the footmarks all over the pitch with soil and water to patch the footmarks up. St Albans not happy and the game started late on Sunday. I am guessing the game will be played under protest...

    VTCA Season 2019/20

    I think Cricket Victoria would be open to running the competition, however they are relying on clubs to advise them that's what they want. I am guessing if a number of clubs got together and raised their concerns with CV then they may look further into it.

    VTCA Season 2019/20

    Which clubs need saving from themselves? Most clubs are well run and able to generate enough cash to cover expenses. The problem isn't as bad as football clubs where some clubs are spending upwards of $400k on player payments before you get to other running costs.

    Divisional structure will change so that there will not be a split division under senior division. THus allowing only 1 up and 1 down for promotion relegation

    VTCA Season 2019/20

    I think you will find there are many other cricket comps which the VTCA competes with for top level talent especially overseas players. I would suggest VTCA are in competition for local players in the 23-27 year old and above market as, these players choose whether to play at that level (and...

    VTCA Season 2019/20

    I think the "no" was predicated on the salary cap in the form and rules presented. I think most clubs would be in favour of some kind of salary cap arrangement, however the rules and procedures including the proposed caps for each grade + having the VTCA administer would make it detrimental to...

    More evidence of that last night at the Deer Park Club meeting. Bruce Kent on a crusade with the salary cap as well.

    Looks like pitch might have been prepared better than the one at Haig Fawkner...

    Looks like not many. Only Senior Division 1st XI playing with 6/8 grounds ready. Everyone else is off.

    Vtca Season 2017/18 & 2018/19

    A three point deduction is quite significant and is almost 10 per cent of the cap itself especially after a period of stability in the points where clubs are comfortable with the cap. While you might have guys dropping points for loyalty, it's hard for clubs who have a couple of low pointers...

    Vtca Season 2017/18 & 2018/19

    If Cricket Victoria actually sent out a survey to the clubs asking whether they would prefer alternative management, then I think they would find out that is what they want. At the moment we have clubs who want change and a move to the southern bayside model, but do not have the means or...

    No Bronca makes a difference. Big part of their attack.

    Vtca Season 2017/18 & 2018/19

    Spot on. Couldn't get any more illogical with the divisional structure. They said the split of divisions between west and north didnt work at the lower divisions, then decide to implement at the top level!

    General Chat 14/15

    We asked the VTCA about whether we could play one of our kids who has been playing in Premier Cricket. They were a bit vague, but they seemed to say that if they played on the Saturday in Premier Cricket then they were not eligible to play on the Sunday.
