You didn't seem to realise... It was a bullshit claim to pump your club up, your 1st XIs season was impressive enough without spinning it.

No you shouldn't. You do that by winning enough, not going close.

I'm not talking to the flog at the minute, but you've known him for twenty years so I am sure he will answer a call if you want to find out.

Hear some silly figures bandied about this off-season, those are the silliest... Unsure how LECC will cover 7 wickets @ 29...

Its 4.5m high, as close an to impossible to store as you're likely to get for a piece of cricket equipment. I do like the idea though, theres a few places that have back background that at 555pm can be a nightmare.

Whilst I don't think its the worst idea ever, I don't think you're taking into account how big a sight screen is...

Fair enough, and well played. I guess when you've just got bundled out of the finals making 114 you have the right to carry on a bit ;) Knew i would get a bite out of you ha ha

easy tiger

They're shit, bit the game I watched it had no influence.

Despite preferring the 8 team format, I agree with this quite a bit. Just prefer we were fixtured for 11x2 day games.

Welcome back, JH. We missed you around finals time...

Well mine aren't, as all along I have been stating what I would do, not what the DVCA will... B grade and below I am as clueless as yourself.

I thought your argument was I only cared about Barclay Shield? Anyhow, I feel 8 team grades makes for more competitive cricket the whole way through the comp. Playing sides of similar abilities more often. I wouldn't make them first xi only, don't mind the clubs such as NEW having clubs higher...

I'd argue Money Shield and whatever they call B Grade would be markedly stronger under an 8 team comp. But whatevs.

I am exHDCA, I reckon it is the best system too. It would make for more competitive grades as far as I am concerned. You could argue its easier to make finals, 50% chance instead of 33%, however the standard of games through a season would be higher IMO.
