You mean its a caged lion? I always thought it was out in the open. May be Richie Kaschula put it behind bars long ago and it is like that ever since...

Season starts on 21 November. 4day games. Eagles vs Tuskers @Country club and Rhinos vs Goats at Queque.. There will be 4 rounds of each format.

4 rounds?

Do I take it that will be 9 games of FC cricket per side? If so that is a promising move.

Is the franchise system retained ? There was news about it being scrapped and reverting to provincial system.

Franchise or Provincial ita the same sh!t.. A change in name doesn't mean anchange in operations or the way things are done. The only thing that's changing is that Franchise CEOs will now be called Provincial Administrators..lol

Surely 4 rounds would be 12 matches?

Yes 12.. That's what was agreed on.. I think the 50 over format might have an extra round..

Any idea when the season will run to then under this new format?
