Match Threads

Do you think that for the match threads, that the threads should apply for one match, and not for the whole series, as you end up with threads nearly 100 pages long otherwise. For example, the current matches board could consist of this for a normal series, I've just said New Zealand and Pakistan for random, but do you reckon it should be done like this:

1) I don't think we get enough discussion on each game to warrant a separate thread

2) The Current Matches section would become an horrendous mess, especially when there are several series going on.

3) When does analysis of one match actually become a preview of the next one?

4) Everyone would be racing to make the 'next' thread in the series, so we'd end up with duplicates.

5) Having separate threads for test and one day tournaments is possibly feasible, especially for those like the CB Series where an extra team is involved.

6) The World Cup will be a bit different - for the timebeing, I'm thinking of having topics per group, then per super 8 etc, but if need be that can be split down into sub-forums with each match having a thread.

That's around 12 threads a series!! Way too confusing IMO.

JP's right , separate threads for individual matches would be chaotic.  Does it matter if a thread has 100 pages , regular posters only visit the last couple of pages to catch up anyway.
