Info is good Heater, plus SACA taking control of all A Grade wickets and helping Councils with upgrade / maintenance of ovals. Played Kooyonga the other week, still as good as I remember it.
Both those recommendations will happen, ie balls and curating. $300,000 offered to clubs for mergers as well. SA needs mergers to happen, otherwise the PL will be with us forever.
I guess the question arises, are Club Boards there to maintain the best interests of their club, or are they their for the development of cricket in SA. Little doubt all contributors on here recognise that for SA cricket to improve, there must be less grade clubs and this will increase the standard of cricket being played.
Just as an aside, heard several weeks ago that the outfield at Glenelg was poisoned by a worker spraying for something, but forgot to was his tank out before hand which had Glyphosphate in it. Oval has been oversown with Rye, but interesting to see whether the kikuyu outfield comes good, as kikuyu does not respond well to Glyphosphate based substances.
