We have told the side for next year it's limited overs or no game as it's no experience for the youth we put out on a Sunday although this year we came to a compromise of tea at a certain time one side bats before one after and whatever overs the first side managed the side after tea would bowl the same worked out to 43 overs each

Thanks---all VERY helpful. Inspired me to give my youngest son some batting practice on a crisp fall day with a man in the slips. Then a shot of that player getting ready to bat.

Could do with working on his grip and stance a bit lol

Fair enough, also pretty pointless playing a Sunday game where you can have a draw, it's not going to count for league points so win/lose format is a must really.

thats actually a pretty (No Swearing Please) attitude - if you feel that strongly, at least discuss it beforehand!

Of our Sunday fixtures i'm fairly sure that we have had the same ones for a fair few years and so they are all aware. It's a very rare occurrence that a team wants to play a timed game, it has only happened 1 time in my two full seasons at current club so far.
I'm not the fixture secretary but whenever new fixtures are arranged i would think that the format would be mentioned, it definitely should be if our team is willing to not play over it i agree.

I think the timed format is pretty useless. I would hate to play it, I get bored enough knowing I'm fielding for 45 overs.
