it's also becoming more common for players to play in one competition for their county side and be loaned elsewhere for another, effectively doubling-up.

But that doesn't mean it's right - or popular with cricket fans? I assume the players opt for whoever supplies the most cash a la speedway?

I don't read many threads on here these days but this one caught my eye for some reason.

According to Speedway riders, history & results at least 358 riders were used across both leagues in 1970.

I also took a look at my first season 1981. 36 teams began the season and at least 374 riders were used in official fixtures. I've also identified at least 100 riders who rode in second halves and junior league matches without making an 'official' appearance.
