I like the idea of playing on if a game is won.
Especially in 40 over games it can be difficult to get everyone involved especially if you have a couple of cricketers who are genuine guns with bat and ball.
Second innings should be about ensuring blokes get an opportunity to be involved and therefore stay playing at your club for longer. Wouldn’t think many sides in pdca don’t have that number 7/8 bat who doesn’t bowl. Second innings are for those blokes.
Yeah when I played in Perth if I did crack into the 1st Grade team I would be that player 7/8 non-bowling player. One season I played 4 weeks in a row without batting or bowling and it was a bit disheartening as you a literally just a fielder in that case.
Our comp was a mix of half two-dayers and one-dayers but even if you passed the other teams score in the 40 over games you would bat out the overs. This worked well if you had a good captain who would share it around after you've passed the other teams score.
