I’m up in the air about shortening games

I appreciate the fact cutting game time down may make the afternoon more attractive to play.

On the flip side cutting game time down makes it harder to give all 11 players a role in the team. Will a player play if all they get to do is bat a couple of overs at the end of an innings and maybe only bowl an over or two.

Having come from PDCA we found getting fill ins was easier for the one dayers but trying grow permenant players was harder because if they weren’t a top 5 bat or top 4 bowler they were doing stuff all most weeks.

If you shorten it too much it will end up being a twenty20 comp on a Friday night with beers. It’s a tough one, if people want to play shortened cricket they will have difficulty going back to longer format cricket or will just give the game away all together. Not sure what the answer is

Yeah I’m not sure what the answer is and I agree they need to try and attract more players just not sure shortening games is the answer.

40 over games, 1-6pm

God's gift to cricketers. Don't know why every comp doesn't do this. Long enough for the jets to make a ton. Plenty of overs to go round for the bowlers. And obviously being one dayers you bat every week so if you have a good day and batters 5, 6, 7... don't get a hit and aren't bowlers then they can bat top 3 next week.

I do believe this is aimed at getting more kids coming up from colts to senior cricket. Not sure how to feel about it.

It will be a negative outcome IMO if that's what the aim is, you'll see the kids batting 7 though to 10 and maybe bowling a few overs later in the innings unless they are very talented.

I'm not a fan of T20 for kids or lower grades and this just seems like that on a bit of juice, 30 overs is like 100 minutes batting per team.

Exactly, want to get juniors involved have two day cricket.
In my experience the ones that want to play less and less cricket make the most noise, administrators have to ignore this noise and cater for the players that actually want to play cricket as they are the ones that are going to be there year after year.

Read in the Sunday Mail today that Rocky River won’t be competing in the North Eastern Shield. What does this mean for their comp?

Even playing 45 over one dayers is almost impossible to give everyone a decent hit and bowl, we had blokes only get 4-5 hits last season.

Lower North will again be the team to beat. If Brinkworth have a full side for the majority of the season they’ll be strong again. Then throw in Clare and Sevenhill and I reckon that’s the top 4. Blyth will jag the odd upset, but not sure they’ll make finals. Auburn/Mintaro with a full team could surprise a few people, but I don’t expect them to be in the frame for finals. Not sure how Watervale are shaping up.

Not sure about the lower north vs Blyth score but no major upsets in the other two games.

Hopefully Watervale can pick up a couple of blokes, really good bunch of lads but are in for a very long year if yesterday is anything to go by.

Speaking to a few it appears most want to play in the b grade so not sure how long they will last playing a’s
