Holy s**t that would be a horrific rule.Could when I was playing, banning under-age kids bowling short is not the answer.
Can you imagine a kid who has just come out of junior cricket experiencing short bowling for the first time in grade cricket? It would be a disaster. Even in lower grades - right down to 5's in Sydney - there are some guys who can get the ball through with toe. 130+ for sure, some even a bit quicker, but they are erratic (which is often worse) and/or can't sustain that pace for a long period.
