Guess it's a step in the right direction have white ball stuff in blocks, July/August is definitely the best time for the Blast. If you get to finals day that's 16 odd games over 7/8 weeks right? Heck of a lot. Still see a franchise system a la Big Bash/IPL somewhere along the lines...

Thanks for that

Don't see much benefit in these changes. T20 works fine as it is. Most games are at the weekend so no reason why kids can't go. Moving T20 back a month doesn't change that. Four day games are not played much when T20 is on either so not much change there either.

I think the problem is more do with the players often having to play 3 different formats in the space of a week which can't really be helpful at all.

the 4 day game days must be numbered, people want to see exciting stuff ( ala T20 )
