What the club do that I joined mid season is get each of the players to bring one dish up to the value of £3

I generally got Savoury snacks. It worked quite well and everyone got what they were supposed to. The teas were of a decent quality not amazing but decent enough.

I think no teas would be a bit of a dealbreaker for most cricketers I know. Agreed it can be hard to get someone to make the teas each week and there are usually teams who put in more effort than others. Having said that our club employs a couple of ladies who do the teas for us. We pay them £70 which covers tea for both teams and leaves them with a decent profit. Then we split the £70 with the oppo. I think most in our league do the same. Seems to work pretty well.

I agree getting harder and harder to find people to do teas so im 50/50 with the no teas things as I think it would put a few off but please quite a few who want to finish that half hour earlier

if we cannot get anyone to do teas we all have to bring enough for 2 people but you have to organise it a bit otherwise its all ham and cheese

12 overs per bowler, I wish I played in your league!
We play 50 overs and 10 per bowler (or 9 in 45 overs in the lower leagues)

As for scrapping teas, sometimes they're the highlight of the day so I can't see that being agreed

We have 11 home games in our firsts league, simply done every player does one tea. It shouldn't be a deal breaker on playing getting a meal together one week a season

@edge where did you find out about these proposed changes mate? I've not had anything from the league
Skipper told us, don't know who told him tbh.

I agree with most of the posts about bowling restrictions tbh, people will be disappointed to lose their extra 3 overs but it would favour more balanced teams which is always a good thing. The way the rules are set up at the moment with 12 per bowler means there's someone at 7 or 8 getting a TFC almost every week in far too many sides.

WEPL was 10 per bowler in 50 overs in 1st team and 9 overs per bowlers in 45 in the 2's so already implemented it at that level.

Now were back in the B&D it will be interesting to see what rules apply as the 5th bowler was the real struggle in most teams as their weakest link.

Ah I see, that's clearly what's driven it with the restructure then.

Suits us down to the ground tbh as we have a small army of seamers.

They have mentioned all these changes in the past, looks like the next couple of league meetings could get lively!

Just found out that our league (Bristol and District) is proposing some rule changes for next season:
  • 9 overs per bowler down from 12 in 45 over games
  • 8 overs per bowler down from 10 in 40 over games (lower leagues)
  • NO TEAS
I'm torn between that I've always thought 12 overs is daft and lets teams get away with being very unbalanced, and selfish thoughts that I want my 12 overs!
As for no teas, bugger that. They tried it last year and it got voted down, hopefully it does again.

Forum thoughts? Imagine voting will end up being split by which clubs have only 4 bowlers and which have more, or how many bowlers there are on club committees!

Well you were right on the proposal for overs but not yet on the teas, they want to stop sides charging the away side for teas instead and will look to scrap them another year when there aren't so many other changes going on.

Ahhh good news, are clubs really that unhappy with tea money though? Will definitely be interesting to see which way it goes on the overs, I'm hoping it passes I think.

Overs will go through mate. The way the league work now it's very difficult for clubs to stop any changes the league want and to be honest this one is quite sensible.
They seem dead set on doing away with teas and imho this is just a sneaky way of moving towards that without making the jump in one go. Clubs will have less incentive to put in decent teas if it goes through so quality will drop and there will be less opposition to scrap entirely at a future vote.
Sad times  :(

We only charge for teas in friendlies, in the League they're just provided by the home side.

Worcestershire leagues have got a dual format going since 2013. Half the season is traditional ODI style 50 overs Win/Lose with five bowlers bowling a maximum of ten and a set of fielding restrictions but then the rest of the season is our classic win, lose or draw with 17 overs per bowler maximum; which can lead to teams who only have two good bowlers doing the job for them and some fairly negative field settings BUT it does allow for a different more gritty and sometimes tense type of cricket when draws come into play and you're fighting for points and can prevent the oppo from getting the maximum. I think it's a pretty decent way of playing the season actually. As far as scrapping teas go that's sacrilege!!! I'd much rather the umpires just jumped all over teams for slow over rates to get things moving. If your not willing to give up your whole day for a game I'd suggest taking up another sport, goes with the territory. Much to the chagrin of our significant, cricket widowed, others.
