**** settle, he wasn't that good
Couldn’t agree more! Huge difference between grade 1 and 2. Give it till about round 3 for him to realise he might’ve made the wrong choice. (After batting 11 and barely getting a bowl)

Yes and no. If you’re an association like PDCA that is two day cricket at the top end, then it is harmful to the associations health to have stand alone one day clubs that ultimately will never contribute to the top grades.
PDCA probably have to decide if they want to remain mixed comp with a different LO component, be a predominately two day club or become a complete one day competition.
Either way some pressure needs to be put on clubs to advance grades so you’re not relying on the same clubs. Also allows those clubs who struggle to genuinely drop down grades without having to go to LO comp.
Sadly seems to be a growing trend with clubs opting for one day cricket though - Peninsula Pirates were top 4 in Grade 3 last year, now dropped down. Salisbury North before them, Para Vista, Adel Warriors/Union/Risers/every other pop up club.

Then become a one day comp.
Fear of losing sides is an interesting argument - with Churches gone, there isnt a lot of variation with options - B&LCA, ATCA, A&SCA, Hills.. clubs aren't going to ATCA if they dont have turf, ASCA dont play one day cricket and Barossa is also mostly two day cricket isn't it?
Reality is if people wish to play cricket, unless they want to travel halfway across the state, they'll play the format that the association sets.. and clubs really have no choice but to plan/recruit for that format.
I still think extend the current format in Grade 3-5 down into the LO grades - make it 5x 2 dayers and 10x 1 dayers, and promotion relegation.. heck even if you drop the over requirement right at the bottom to 60 overs in a day - what's an extra 20 overs in the field going to hurt anyone? Surely clubs can field sides for a measly 5x 2 day games.
