I'm unhappy that nothing has been done on the Old Recreation Grounds up to now. The Trust promised to do a lot of stuff on that ground, and without fail, they told me it should be done so that we can open on Feb 6. But so far, each time I pass by and look in nothing has happened. I see a couple teams practicing now, which means some of the teams are beginning to get serious, but nothing has been done on the grounds. I can't see us opening a league until these things are rectified. |
It's very hot there - during the day and night. Even at night, there's a hot breeze like when you open an oven. You will have to be well-conditioned, and players will have to drink a lot of water to survive out there. |
We hardly play day games here, but when you go to tournaments, you have to be ready to play at any time. Unless you're well-conditioned, after the first couple games you find players breaking down, pulling this and pulling that. If we are going from here, we need to go from here with a well-conditioned team. |
