Damage to egos perhaps - couldn't see either of them going out their way to hurt someone so far beneath them.
Full and straight would do the trick easy enough i'm sure.

Does PDCA need a rule like the SAAFL about how many players from one team can jump to another club.

Or rule with an iron fist - set the rules, the format, the gradings.. stick with it.. the weak will die, the strong with thrive, the committed will survive.

T20 has killed community cricket.
Yeah people are time poor I get that, but with the increase in shorter formats etc people have lost the tolerance / patience / interest in playing longer formats. In the day if you wanted to play cricket you had two choices - play the format on offer, or dont play at all..
People don't want to train, people don't want to field.. they just want to rock up and a bat and bowl and go home... or in the case of some of our members, play a T20, then go play another one.. then another one

I think it's more that changing attitudes towards cricket/time/recreation were what created T20 cricket

I think its a change of attitude towards cricket in particular. Obviously test matches are extremely long but the need for t20 came because people got bored of 50/50.
Shortened versions of other sport just haven't seemed to take off like t20 in cricket. Look at soccer, i love my soccer but can accept its a bit more of a game of chess than a highlight reel sport yet the 90 minute version is what people want. Tennis / Golf are still played in their longest versions with no shorter version really taking over the market albeit LIV are trying to speed up the current format. Gridiron is still a 4 hour marathon, Area football has tried but the long version of the game is still the most attended. Baseball still 9 innings albeit they are trying to speed up the 9 innings version.
Seven srugby has tried to be the T20 of rugby and its been successful but 13 a side is still the number one version of that sport.
Cricket is one of the few sports where the shortened version has pretty much all but taken over in popularity, attendances, finance generating.

I literally came here to write the same! From my recollection it was introduced for crowds + financial game.
Cricket has always been a strong Aussie summer sport, and I'd be interested to see if participation numbers were in decline before T20.
Reality is, community cricket is FAR weaker than it was 20yrs ago.

I do recall though that 50/50 had dwindling numbers as the executives believed crowds thought the format had got stale and to formulated.....they then started playing around with power plays, fielding restrictions, new balls at each end etc.
