Ok now i know a few of you aren't really interested in the All Star series, but on the same side you don't like sitting around waiting for the Draft/New season to begin...
However with the Playoff games this season there will be less time between the seasons end and the Draft, so my suggestion is this...
Instead of having a Divisional All Star Series we could have a 3 way Regional tournament...
Here is how it would work...
Teams would be made up like this...
Oceania
NSW, QLD, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria, West Australia, ACT, Auckland, Canterbury, Nthn Districts
United Kingdom
Glamorgan, Hampshire, Kent, Leicestershire, Lancashire, Somerset, Surrey, Warwickshire, Worcestershire, Yorkshire
Rest of the World
Colts, Free State, Guyana, Jamaica, Karachi, Karnataka, Mashonaland, Mumbai, Tamil Nadu, Western Province
The manager of each club will submit 1 batsman and 1 bowler from their squad to be up for selection for 1d and 4d...
There will be 4 people chosen to manage each reagion 2 for 1d and 2 for 4d...
The 2 managers for the region will then decide on which player of the 2 from each team submitted will represent...
This will give the squad 10 players, The 2 managers will then select 2 keepers and 4 players who they feel deserve selection in the squad this will make up a total of 16 players...
The maximum amount of players each team can have representing their region is 3 so the 2 keepers and 4 extras cannot come from the 1 team...
The managers will then work together to select sides etc for their games...
The tournament itself will be a tri series format with each team playing the other twice(1 home and 1 away), after the prelim the top 2 will playoff in the final...
The way the managers will be selected has not yet been decided but will be based on a few things such as team performance throughout season 3, Involvement in WCC issues, etc...
At this stage this is just a suggestion as a alternative to the old format, but if you feel it would be more fun then the other version then we will use this fomat...
Let me know what you think...
I have posted this as a poll but i will only count votes from people who give their veiws on this format....
