as a trial I am going to make no distinctions between men and women's teams. I've become more and more convinced in recent womens competitions that there is no longer any need to have different scoring rules based on gender in these short form games.


so........ that means, in a first for CMS FL's, entrants can pick any combination of male and female cricketers in their sides

Will it work?

I have no idea

but if there's enough interest, i'm happy to find out

[Durhamfootman]

Just to get the ball rolling..... a bit of a punt

I didn't do this last year...assuming it's the hundred? And do we do a mix of men and.women yeah?

[Durhamfootman]

indeed, to everything

Mixing men and women is something I'm trying out this year. Scoring will be the same regardless
