Back in the day though, Churches used to play overs, not end game once result was achieved. This meant that sides could still chase an outright in a one day match.
If G1 clubs want the best of both worlds, maybe this could be a consideration.
I think 45 overs for the Grade 1 comp is sufficient, 40 Grade 2 and Below. Bowlers limited to 20% of the allotted overs and the stronger clubs with more depth will prosper.
If playing one day/limited over cricket it must be Net Run Rate. Winning a game in 10 overs is as good as winning outright and you’re not whipping a dead horse week in week out if there is a lesser team in the comp.
