Well its very difficult to play cricket in " summer" here. We get 1.5 - 2 metres of rain between november and march. Never mind you cant play in that rain, preparing pitches is close to impossible.
So cricket is played in the dry season. Also well named. It rarely rains. Once every 5 yrs or so.
Given the ground sharing, ntfl is in the wet.
It also has the benefit of getting some decent players into thr league. In the bad old days, some really really decent players. Guys like dale lewis, ken hunter, etc played here. Even this year there are some very well credentialed footballers here.
