You can't stop people from playing at what level they want, i mean just because there are some quality blokes playing in divs lower than their capabilites doesn't give you the right to force them higher or impose restrictions on them.
Perhaps if BL had ordinary seasons in higher grades whilst Payne was hitting mountains of runs in grade 8 more questions might be asked.
There are plenty of examples of blokes playing lower than they can all over the place, personally i think although they may dominate, it provides an exciting challenge and opportunity for other players coming up against them.
i will be sure to let atco craigmore and north pines know that mate.... dont worry about being beatn by 300 runs every game just be glad your playing against exiting players....
