Sanity Prevails!

After my rant the other day about the proposed changes to the Big Bash League it seems that sanity prevails.

The Powers That Be have decided to leave the BBL without the wacky changes (apart from the change to the 8 city based teams, that is), but even better they have decided to take the traditional domestic One Day competition, that last season saw it split into a two innings per side affair, and return it to its normal format. I, for one, think that this is a good decision.

If you want a pool of domestic players that you can slot into an international team, I think it is important to have the domestic game replicate the international game as closely as possible. The step up to international play is tough enough without having to negotiate differing rules and playing conditions, as well.

A win for common sense!
