Q: There has been a lot of conjecture this year around our league, that the Fast Bowling directive may be relaxed for 2009.
My son is 17 and bowls medium pace, but as he is very much line and length rather than raw pace, he could bowl many more overs than the 6 he was limited to this year and next as an U17. Other so called spin bowlers are of similar pace, but are allowed unlimited overs. How likely is it that the clubs, captains and if necessary parents can have a say on how many overs are bowled by juniors?
A: There are no changes in this area at present. If there's any updated information we'd post it straight away on the site for you
