From what i've heard we might have a new team in the league next season. Wouldn't that mean that u have a bye every round for one team. I had a suggestion that would give everyone a game each week including the guys that are in the starting XIs.

You could have an CW Academy that is made up of fringe players and new members like myself. These guys could play aganist the team that has a bye. It would allow the fringe players to puch their case for selection and allow us new guys to get into the game from the start and play regular games during the summer (regular season).

Just a suggestion what do u guys think.

I think it would make squad depth non-existant, especially with a culling after this season.

That would then mean 2 more teams, which there aren't the numbers to support.

Aye, best wait and see how many active players there will be going into the next season and then think about how we want to play things.

No it is only one more team, which gives u squad of 15 each. The CW Academy would be made up of non starting players from the 5 teams.

Hmm, interesting thought. Dunno what it'd do for the team spirit, but I think we're getting a bit too ingrained in it, so why not?

Edit: Of course, if too many players are away, the academy matches are cancelled.

You have to keep in mind that often 15 players are away on international duty and then there are also players who are injured etc.

Academy matches could be friendly games that don't actually count in the comp, though, and could be cancelled if too many players are away. I like the idea.

My intial thought was that u don't play against ur own team, as the captain could select the fringe players for the academy games. With 4 players from each team not playing that makes 16 players (not including injures or international players). I guess u would not have matches when the international games are on.

I too like the idea, for the very reason Håkon states. It'll encourage more integration and less team rivalry. Team spirit is all well and good, but we don't want to get carried away. Eventually you may be playing on the same team anyway.

And the more expierenced fringe players could get the captaincy.

You have work to do on your subtlety.

Major construction work. Suggest hiring several JCBs.

IMO squads of 15 aren't enough for Dev Cricket.

teams losing 3 or 4 memb ers to the national team (or other rep teams) is pretty common, than players get injured too

How many guys generally get injured, cus from what other said it most likely that when Internationals are on then the academy matches matches will not take place. They would be like 16 players free each week so if their is more then 5 injures pre game, then it not possible, but if their less then it is possible.

 

[age_master]

it is not always the case that the internationals are avaliable for most of the season, but i would say squads would have to allow for up to 4 people to be lost to international duty, 2 or 3 may be injured you never know, that could be 7 people out at once if your unlucky.

 

[Robertinho]

It would be awesome to have 6 teams - but we'd need a huge influx of rookies.

I can see your point about team rivalries - but who cares? You mingle with your teammates - no harm done - rivalries are good in producing competitiveness - which is what we thrive on

The point of the academy would be to secure that everyone gets a . Right now, half the squad is on the sideline - which is good from the captain's point of view, but very boring for the players, not to mention the CW XI who would like to see as many potential players play as possible. Squads of 16 (either four or five teams) should cater for most of that - when the international players are there, the fringe players go down and play for the academy, while when the internationals are away there may be too few left over, so academy matches get cancelled.

Of course, there may still be the problem that a team may be left with 10 players, in which case a replacement may be called up - either from the academy pool or from the Australian domestic, as the case was this season.

That's the way I interpret it, anyway.

Will be best decided once we have a better idea of how many players we will have next season. I've noticed a lot of players posted a couple of times at the very start of the season to suggest they were still active and they haven't made a single post since.
