Can't they trial the concept for one season with a vote/review at the end of the season?

If people find the one dayers don't work (too many overs in a day, too many teams getting knocked over/finishing early) why wouldn't they go back to two dayers?

inside word wrote:Luigianna by the sounds of it mate you have written the proposal....... Anyway this topic has intrigued me. As a former player in Country cricket, i am completely and totally perplexed by this proposal and how it increases participation and the standard of the game. I have taken a keen interest in this comp since retirement called my name and have no idea why the association feels the need to do this? This proposal suits only 1 part of the game and that is batting, all it means if you aren't very good at batting you get to have a hit every week and show everyone week in and week out you aren't good! It doesnt suit bowlers who like to bowl big spells, and doesn't suit bowling all rounder's. To me it seems all to be catering for in the bowling department is the 5th or 6th bowler who isn't that great. My issue with this proposal is you are changing arguably the strongest comp in the Hills. Why would anyone want to do that?? I tell you why, cause some old batsmen who cant make a run to save himself wants to have as many hits as possible before father time calls him! MTCA went to one day cricket due to the fact it had to and to be honest the standard of cricket there is downright deplorable! It will do the same to this Comp if the association aren't careful! All credit to TVCA to continue with a mixture of both and clearly the Hills comp will have both as well. That is a great decision. The sticking point will be with this proposal is certain clubs want 40-45 overs a side while Strath want 50 each. (Talk about a stupidly long day) Rumours have it Strath wont vote for the any less while other clubs wont vote for any more! The only hope for the die hard cricketers who love 2 day cricket and who enjoy having a week off bowling to talk rubbish is that the clubs cant agree on the overs and the Comp stays the same way. For the sake of the game, i hope thats the case!

The clubs point of view is it will be easier to get people to play A grade when they know they will be doing something. This is farcical! Imagine being a okay bowler in the 2's and then having to front up to Nairne and getting dispatched onto the main road regularly, you think they are putting there hand up again? No! The simple fact is and its harsh, people who are capable of playing A grade who are playing in the 2's are simply not mentally tough!! The Comp will degenerate with this proposal and don't be shocked if some youngish cricketers don't play the game in the hills anymore!

The discrepancy between the strong teams and weak teams will increase due to the fact the best bowlers won't be able to bowl as much, I tell you if I'm playing in a weak team and am trying to compete with a top team I'm using 3 bowlers for the day to give us the best chance. Anyone who disagrees with this is delusional and complete out of touch with the game!

Not much fun if only three people are bowling surely.
Do weaker teams regularly topple top teams in two dayers now? Would think they're more of a chance in a one dayer to be honest.
There are always going to be lopsided games regardless of the format. At least with one dayers they're over after one Saturday and you move on to new opposition. Rather than draghing it out with teams having to front up again the next week after they've already lost on Day 1.
