- Two day cricket appears to have enough support from the larger clubs to always remain as the premium format
- Most of the feedback I have received is that the 6 team divisions has been an improvement
- The Lo grades do not favour clubs genuinely developing younger players in C, D and E grades
- Some have the view that the season is too long and overlaps too much with other sporting codes
- There were only 16 clubs with an A grade playing 2 day format this season
What I would propose
1. Two day cricket is retained as the premium format, however only grades 1 and 2 include this format
2. Grades 3 and down only play one day format
3. Under current 6 team format the season is shortened to 15 weeks in the minor round and 2 weeks finals
4. Test match, Australia day weekend and Adelaide Cup weekends are non playing weekends
5. Clubs are either nominated two day clubs, aspirational two day clubs or only one day clubs
6. There is an annual application process for aspirational clubs to be accepted as two day clubs, at which point season duration is reviewed
7. Ultimate goal is for 8 team two day competitions with grade 1 and 2 extending beyond the season duration of other grades
8. Potentially a reserves two day competition in future sitting at grade 3 containing only B grade sides from grade 1 and 2

I was always a big fan of your #8 concept, will never get off the ground now unfortunately.

- The Lo grades do not favour clubs genuinely developing younger players in C, D and E grades Agreed.
- Some have the view that the season is too long and overlaps too much with other sporting codes I agree, but COVID last couple years has also hurt this as footy codes have juggled their seasons. It's taxing on volunteers - players themselves wouldn't notice much difference
- There were only 16 clubs with an A grade playing 2 day format this seasonDisappointing really.
What I would propose
1. Two day cricket is retained as the premium format, however only grades 1 and 2 include this format
2. Grades 3 and down only play one day format I don't mind the format that was this season - 5x 2 and 10x 1
3. Under current 6 team format the season is shortened to 15 weeks in the minor round and 2 weeks finals Drop of more than a month is a fair whack
4. Test match, Australia day weekend and Adelaide Cup weekends are non playing weekends
5. Clubs are either nominated two day clubs, aspirational two day clubs or only one day clubs Should be a progression up regardless - you shouldn't just declare yourself a one day club for instance and then sit back winning flag after flag. If Grade 1 is the premier grade, that should be the ultimate aspiration for clubs.

Why can't people just enjoy 1 day cricket? Last I checked we play hard wicket social cricket and most of us play for the fun of it. If we were looking to go further with our cricket careers, we would be playing turf!
Can't say I've ever understood the hate on 1 day cricket and the push to get guys to play it. .

That is actually a very good point. PDCA is very much a parklands competition. I do really think soon enough 1 day cricket is going to be the only option in these hit and giggle leagues!

It's what a lot of people want to play.
Bedge, I can kind of remember what you posted. What you didn't look at in my stats are games played. I don't play every week so at least I know the games I get to play I'll have a hit. I don't want to potentially play a few games each season where all I do is field for 70 overs. I'm old and mostly broken now, I've proven that I can play against high level bowling and I'm past all that. Why can't I just enjoy playing with my mates in a format of the game where I know I'll bat which is the part of cricket I enjoy?
