From Snelly (Marshalls, ex-Owmby)
For the past two years I have been playing Bassetlaw cricket with Marshalls CC after leaving Owmby, and it seems to me that the Lincs League it behind the times.
Every week you see on the scoresheets where someone has bowled 20 overs - week in, week out. So I therefore think that a mandatory maximum overs per bowler should be introduced in the 2010 season. And also to improve the standard of the league, anything down the leg-side should be given as a wide.
Would you put this forward to any members of the Lincs League, please, or at the AGM.
NF adds: Snelly's point about limiting overs per bowler has been proposed by a member club for discussion at the AGM on October 21. However, the date for proposing rule changes for this year's meeting has long gone and a full list of those which did make the deadline has already been circulated to member clubs. Any club keen to see the idea of leg-side wides taken up is free to put it forward for discussion at the AGM in 2010.
Though, by warned, it could result in some very long overs, and matches, given the accuracy of some of our bowlers!

Brilliant idea. Teams should also have a time limit to bowl their overs - 2 hours 45mins should be more than enough time to bowl 45 overs. Some teams have taken nearly 4 hours to do it this season!!
