Richard Isaacs16-Apr-2002In the recent poll conducted on the Southern Electric Premier League web-site, it has become obvious that the original format of playing regular 50 over cricket is still favourite.Asked their views on which format of the game – either all-day or 50 overs or a combination of both – they preferred if it covered all three divisions, 36 of the 82 voters (43.9%) felt the tried-and-tested formula was best.Only 5 people voted (6.1%) for a complete overhaul to a full programme of all-day matches while 17 (20.7%) felt the current playing conditions for Division One suited.Interestingly, while the number of votes for a full all-day list was minimal, the choice of having more all-day than 50 over games received 22 votes (26.8%).The other alternative, having more 50 over games than all-day raised just two votes (2.4%).An interesting poll which has guaged the feelings of the league’s web site visitors on their feeling about the ECB accreditation rulings.
