Hi again, I agree that donating to the collections is not compulsory but still annoying when they come round 6/8 times sometimes in a match if both teams bat/bowl well. I love the double headers but surely some players are put off the game by playing cricket morning till night all weekend? I can't believe that no players actually quit local cricket because a, it takes up all weekend b, there don't see their kids after they've been at work all week and c, their wives/partners must get utterly cheesed off. Plus I would much rather go to a shortened match that actually got finished than the constant no results we seem to get in the Lancashire League. I'm not a doom n gloom person at all, but something needs to be done as a lot of people are quickly losing interest. I say keep the double headers in a shortened format, maybe 30 over league on a sat and a 40 over league on a sunday which adheres more to our inclement weather and doesnt tie the players up all weekend? What do you think?
