City franchises probably too complicated and a bureaucratic nightmare, I would guess, as the ECB would drag this process out. I think T20 definitely needs an overhaul; first of all condense it. The Friday night project hasn't worked, we need it to reflect something like the Big Bash and run it over say three weeks, with each game being played in the evenings. Keep the teams as counties, but run[/i] them like franchised teams, where you could attract in the T20 "specialist" players from around the world, dropping any restrictions on the need to field a certain amount of county players. This would keep county regulars fit for championship and RL50 games (while at the same time encouraging them to compete for place more), but also you would attract sponsorship from bigger sources, maybe new to the sport, but interested in aligning themselves with some of the bigger names from world cricket. I also think T20 in England needs to liven up, matches still feel like being at a party where someone's dad is invigilating, deciding what music gets played and how much anyone is having to drink. It lacks the abandon of the Big Bash and IPL and needs to distinguish itself from other forms of the game and align with T20 elsewhere around the globe.
p.s. "SOS Saj"....hahahaha
