Smith told BBC Northampton: The temperature at this time of year is a major concern and I believe it's the wettest March on record.But we've started the season in the first week of April in the last two seasons. We used to start later in April when I was playing and that was cold enough. There are nine matches before the end of May and the competitiveness of the competition could be destroyed.They've had ten or eleven good days out there, with the sun on their back and have been involved in some competitive cricket which they wouldn't have got here, he added.The county cricket schedule was heavily affected by poor weather last year, as nine of Northants' 16 County Championship matches were drawn, five of 12 matches in the Yorkshire Bank 40 ended as a 'no result' and two of their 10 matches in the FL t20 also fell victim to the rain.
