Well done SLC, this is much needed: 4 day cricket is a must as is playing games on proper surfaces such as the test venues and of course, quality cricket with a fewer teams. The challenge here is how will this last as we have had similar attempts at this same before but they have come undone mainly due to the 147 clubs lobbying enough with the SLC office bearers to ensure the ‘super league’ framework’ fails. I think an interesting addition would be to make super league the basis for national selection.
