southern sledge;364540 said:I believe there are problems with ground availability and problems with the Saturday one-day comp.
underarm bowler;365826 said:Life Member you are spot on.Without wanting to sound like a broken record and please correct me if they have come out but to my knowledge 12 days to go til round 1 and no fixtures. Its pretty hard to sell the comp to overseas players coming out or new players to the area when you tell them....errr we don't know.
On the playing side of things word is that a few of the big name recruits in the South are getting some big coin to play....they would be expect to carry them through a few games but teams could struggle if they don't i think.
underarm bowler;365917 said:Wasn't saying that we failed or gained a player on this basis just stating that it sounds tin pot when its brought up and the answer is....well we don't know 2 weeks to go.. Can fully understand why its hard to finalise it all but just a little bit of info such as if its a 2 or 1 day game wouldn't hurt.
Southern Son;365938 said:Agree Underarm - paints the VTCA as a mickey mouse comp.
underarm bowler;365960 said:SS i think you won't be too far off the mark with those tips.i'd prob put Brighton and Chelsea in the mix too but would expect most teams to beat each other during the course of the season. Hard to say as most teams havn't revealed their overseas players or how many yet....could be the factor between the good and average teams this year.
lifemember;365962 said:Well said SS. This is really a poor performance on the part of the VTCA Exec (or whomever is responsible for the fixturing).
I can understand and acknowledge that there are things beyond the VT's control which would make fixturing difficult, however I think it's a sad indictment on the competition when 11 days out of the competition there are no fixtures.
The VT is always quick to get on the Clubs back when they have not affiliated in time, or they have made a mistake or an accident with something administrative, yet they can't even get a fixture out for Clubs to plan around - lets not forget it is the Clubs that make this competition.
How about a bit of communication on the part of the VT with this problem? I think they have done a great job in bringing in the points system (although time will tell), however I think the Clubs deserve a lot more respect than to be left in the dark about when a fixture might happen to make an appearance!!

Game on!!!
If you have a good look instead of being critical it is in South A starting with 4 one-dayers.Southern Son;366079 said:Hooray!... What's happened to the promised 7 2-dayers and 7 1-dayers (play everyone twice) Too hard basket?
