Of course there would be more internationals this way, but as per this sentence here:
It's different. Overseas players in the individual teams robs players of game time. Grouping the overseas players together increases the league by 8 games per team, and therefore allows more opportunities for selection. It also, as overstated, improves the quality of competition by supplying very good opposition.
Think you missed Liam's point by about the length of Western Australia's border hey. Close
Yeah that was my thought. If a 6th team were to added it would give more oppotunities to fringe players if it was made of CW players. With the standard boosted by the overseas pro. A new team would add games for those on the outside, not less.
I'd say most teams would be really struggling for numbers with absent international players if the CW players were divided umongst 6 teams.
Fact is that we don't have enough players as yet. That's the ultimate goal, but it won't achieved until Season XIII at the very least. Every season we get lots of new signups and only a handful at most tend to stick around. Add that to inactivity and retirements of longer serving players and we're still left with a player pool more fitting to five than six teams.
Fair enough
It will be a squad of 15, containing 6 high profile players and 9 professional cricketers who never really established themselves in internationals. The only retirees will be among the high profile players.
