Why not? For some years people have been questioning the state of English domestic cricket and there have been criticisms of the format of the domestic competitions for almost as long as I have been following the game. a parallel competition could be disruptive for a couple of years, but as Maranello suggests above and as we have seen happen with the Premier League, once it is a proven success it will become institutionalised. As long as the fundamentals of eleven men a side playing a bat and ball game with two sets of stumps are retained, there is no reason to suppose that a parallel competition spells the end of the world.
