• I’ve been trying to start a local 20/20 comp with some modified rules – similar to indoor cricket.

  10 players a side

  Bowling/fielding
  No “power-play” – less fielders means gaps should be easier to find
  Each player bowls 2 overs
  No-balls and wides are not rebowled, but incur two extras. The next ball is also a free hit.

  Batting
  Each player plays in a partnership of 4 overs
  Wickets do not dismiss the batsmen, but incur a five-run penalty

  Sub-rule
  A player can “sub” out of bowling/batting with another player (ie. if a player wishes to bowl an extra 2 overs, he may trade his batting position with another player who in return does not bowl/also vice versa)
  This can happen up to twice per team during the game, and must be done before the end of the first innings

  Essentially the game-plan came about after our last 20/20 comp, where it was greatly one-sided. I wanted to make the game more competitive and give each player an even amount of game time. Unfortunately, the comp is between a group of college students and most of them are still away. I wanted to play a couple of trial games, but the weather hasn’t been cooperating (Hunter region of NSW).

  Personally, I think it has world-wide potential…What do you guys think?

• Aww, that’s a shame Redb,

  Would you suggest then that West Coast is likely to win this one then, or are you still hoping for a Don’s victory against the odds?

• I’ll probably miss that one Redb (being a WCE fan living in NSW SUCKS!), but I’ll keep my blue and gold jacket ready to wave, just for you!
