the saca muppets have done it again.

the first week of premier cricket is t20's for 1st grade only starting this saturday.

nearly every other significant cricket competition pdca atca also starts this weekend with games scheduled over 2 weeks.

so there will be around 400 cricketers not able to play cricket this week

the ideal would have been to align the competitions so players can play for their home clubs when not able to play premier cricket - how hard is it?

is it deliberate or incompetence?

and given the amount of interstate players in adelaide the core playing group of most premier clubs will be playing no cricket this weekend.

i know many premier clubs, like my 2 sons, will schedule trial games for their b, c and d players however wouldn't it be better to have them playing proper cricket.

i see 2nd grade womens teams are starting this week.

if you were trying to kill cricket in this state this is the stuff you would be doing.

Think you will find pitches like Glenelg and Woodville might not be ready because of the footy clubs usage in the finals.

The problem with programming is that it's democratic.

Clubs go along to their association meetings and decide when they want to start, how many one/two day games they want to play, how close to Christmas they go, whether to play the test match, how deep into March to play, whether to play on long weekends, how many teams in a division, how many rounds etc.

All those decisions get voted on and the playing dates go from there.

All associations including the school competitions operate independently.

Should SACA say "These are the playing dates for all competitions in South Australia"?

What about harvest... what about school holidays... what about football trial games... we don't get to start working on our pitch until October... what about association matches... we don't usually play the test match... what about intercol... we'll never get people to come back that early in January... our competition has a preliminary final as well... it's unfair to start with a two week bye...

undertand however should not be hard to align with atca and pdca at a minimum - maybe just a phone call?

ATCA provide their dates to the grade cricket committee each year in May, and each year Grade cricket then release a fixture in August/September that has the majority of two day games offset to the ATCA fixture.

In fact I know the ATCA dates have been set through to 26/27 already and yet there is little to no chance of them lining up with the dates SACA will put out.

International program gets locked in first. Once that's done then the domestic program gets done. Then State 2nd XI. Then grade cricket.

All on hold until the higher level gets locked in. Takes time.

ATCA don't want to wait around for all these decisions above to get made. They could wait and lock their program in lockstep with the grade program and ensure dual registered players are available as often as possible. But they'd rather give their clubs some early clarity around start dates and programming, even if it means the pay-off might be that they're out of sync with grade cricket.

It probably highlights the low level of respect that SACA and grade cricket command that competitions aren't willing to fall into line with their schedule

yes very disrespectful to those community cricket clubs and players

imagine being from a non cricket family and trying to explain to a parent why you are only playing one week as grade players are available in week 1 and not week 2.

soon cricket will be like hockey and lacrosse where only those families involved in those sports have kids following that sports pathway

i understand the point you are making although not sure the international, domestic, state 2nd fixtures are even confirmed now

seems to me like an easy out for the saca cretins with less umpires to find and ovals to coordinate

again, it is as hard as you want to make it

well done atca and pdca

the peak cricket body in the state should be mindful of providing the best cricket experience for all stakeholders - they fail most times

maybe time for all saca staff to be on performance based contracts
