What's the feedback/vibe been in the AEHCA regarding the one-dayers?
Think its been well accepted.
Sure it hasn't solved everything but i think the positives have far outweighed the negatives and im very confident there will be a return of some clubs to A Grade next year which quite simply would not have happened if it stayed as 2 day cricket.
Looking at the Creeks 2 finals on Sat / Sun, both games showed that 45 overs a side is still plenty of time for games to fluctuate back and forth and time for batting sides to consolidate and dig their way out of trouble.
2 days byes were eliminated
A lot fewer selection dilemmas for selectors.
Always will be a few players who will complain they can only bowl 9 overs or dont get much of a bat etc BUT players not getting a go still occurred in 2 day cricket anyway.
Overall i would say that the move has been a success for sure.
