At best surely now only white ball cricket to be played? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted May 10, 2020 Report Share Posted May 10, 2020 (edited) The 2005 Edgbaston ashes test is on Sky right now. It’s almost as nerve wracking as it was first time around. The best and most thrilling test match I’ve ever seen. Edited May 10, 2020 by Robbored Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin phantom Posted May 30, 2020 Admin Report Share Posted May 30, 2020 The latest suggestion for the league set up into three divisions looks interesting.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted May 30, 2020 Report Share Posted May 30, 2020 (edited) 1 hour ago, phantom said: The latest suggestion for the league set up into three divisions looks interesting.... I`ve thought for a while this might be a good idea. Three divisions of six, one up, one down (two would be a bit much probably). Pretty much all teams would probably be involved till fairly late season. Less fixtures so hopefully more results. I reckon it`s worth a try anyhow.

Lrrr Posted May 30, 2020 Report Share Posted May 30, 2020 I've said for a while I think 3 divisions is the way to go as it increases competitiveness across the board, div 1 you're more than likely either fighting for the title or fighting relegation no mid ground or maybe just 1/2 teams. Div 2 and the ability to go up or down, and div 3 should mean loads of clubs aren't adrift at the bottom and can fight for promotion because they're not being outclassed by Div 1 teams coming down. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted June 29, 2020 Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 Whats does everyone reckon the format will be? I think it should just be an 18 team 2020 league 34 games over 50 odd days. Limits bowlers to only 4 overs a day compared to championship cricket and potentially 20+ overs in a day, prevents bowlers from breaking down. 2020 also means teams in and out of grounds quicker frankly must be considered at the moment even if you had the idea of a 50 over cup as well. 10 odd hours in a ground vs 4 hours should be considered.

Admin phantom Posted June 30, 2020 Admin Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 T20 100% to happen as that is where the TV money will fly in from 50 over was already a 2nd string competition There was already talk of a regional 4 day competition - the question is how many days are left to play in after T20 matches are scheduled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
