Part way through the season the Warwickshire league produces a list of players who have played so many games in the season at 1st/2nd/3rd team level and prevents them from dropping down a level/s for the remainder of the summer.Saw a suggestion that the oppo opener was a ringer, so the response was a deliberate protest.
Not convinced though. Im on the committee at my local club and if a 1st XI player suddenly drops down to the thirds then questions would be asked. We had a scenario a couple of years back where the 3s needed a win to stay up, the 1s and 2s were safe, but it was very clear that if anyone dropped down the league would consider it cheating and we'd forfeit the match.
