One of the district's leading co-coaches wants to see it happen.

Russells Creek leader Cam Williams wants the WDCA to consider the proposal as a way of spicing up the sport as the league executive weighs up the best way through another pandemic season.

Warrnambool and District Cricket Association chairman Gordon McLeod revealed this past month more two-day cricket was on the agenda after feedback from clubs in the winter.

But with COVID-19 still looming around the state and competitive games unable to begin until at least early November, pending vaccination targets, a one-day cricket focus may be given the green light.

Williams admitted a best-of-three grand final series was "a little bit left-field" but said now was the time for experimentation.

"If they do end up going one-dayers, I reckon it's the perfect time to do something like this," he told The Standard.

"If they do change it, why not change it to a best-of-three? I know in years gone by, people don't take as much notice of the one-day final. I just think something a little bit different would be great.

"Imagine the build-up and if you had a game on a Saturday, Sunday and then the following Saturday, it'd be a definite showpiece. The grand final is a showpiece anyway."

Williams said a best-of-three series would ensure the most worthy team was recorded as premier.

He said one-day and Twenty20 cricket was prone to heavy influence from winning the coin toss and a three-game format would reduce risk of luck impacting the result.

Williams' Creekers fell short of Woodford in this past season's one-day decider at Avery's Paddock but responded to clinch the two-day crown in March.

"If the conditions suit the bowlers or whatever for the first 20 overs, especially with a new wicket you can be four wickets down for not many runs and getting rolled for 100," Williams said.

"The wicket can then flatten out in the afternoon and it's game over. 80-over finals obviously go over two days and that's your mental battle because you've got to play better for a longer period of time.

"With one-dayers, it can be hit and miss because it's a quicker game so I just think for the fairness of the grand final, people are used to playing 80-over cricket and playing over that longer period."

Williams said the new multi-million dollar Reid Oval facility, which has been revamped by Warrnambool City Council, Cricket Victoria and AFL Victoria over the past 18 months, provided an ideal location to host the event.

He said the floodlights, which will be the best in the region, would allow the chance to play day-night fixtures and a best-of-three grand final series would add to the occasion.

"Imagine that. You could start at 2.30pm in the afternoon and if you win the first two games, then it's game over but if you had one win, one loss or even a rain-out it could go to the next week," he said.

Williams said he supported the concept of moving to one-dayers. He said he wouldn't be opposed to reinstating Twenty20 cricket for points for one more season, given the COVID-19 situation.

He said he felt it was vital to ensure as much cricket as possible was played and felt one-day cricket would generate the best chance of crowning a true premier.

Williams said the coronavirus pandemic and restrictions, which could be largely obsolete post-November, still carried uncertainty. He said cricket could learn from football and netball's misfortunes.
