I have said this before my son (22) now, in his 1st year at senior level straight out of 16s one his clubs Dgrade bowling trophy, the following year he couldn't get a game because of older blokes in there 40s and 50s were being selected first. Surely grade cricket is about prepping guys coming through with the hope of playing shield cricket?
Again though, what do you think the problem with the scenario you described is?
Is it the existence of a 4th Grade?
Or is it a club choosing not to select a young cricketer doing well in preference to 40 and 50 year olds?
Higher subs for an adult?
