THOUGHTS AND IDEAS DESIGNED TO GET YOU THINKING OUTSIDE THE STATUS QUO.
What’s next for cricket????

  1. Handicapped matches where an effort through handicapped runs to make seemingly unequal contests more equal. An effort to challenge the talented whilst giving hope to those less gifted
  2. MARMITE 10×10 some teams like it and applaud the idea of involving all whilst others feel it is an embarrassment. Separate sponsorship to be considered. It will remain optional.
  3. Suggestion to reduce league sizes, quality rather than quantity
