English Domestic Cricket

I just saw that the team names for The Hundred have been announced.

Manchester Originals, and Oval Greats sounds like biscuits.
Leeds Superchargers sounds like a consortium of electricians.
Southern Brave and Birmingham Phoenix are rubbish.
Welsh Fire and London Spirit sound like alcoholic drinks.
And last but not least, Trent Rockets sounds like a porn star.

Good god above,what did they do? Ask the local 8 year olds for some names.

And this post sounds like one of the funniest post I have read so far.

Call me crazy, but surely having snack foods plastered all over your kits is going to be off putting to some of those Mum's the ECB are famously trying to target.

Quick question, would the playing XI have both men and women? Or there will be separate teams?

Separate teams.

Separate teams.

That would make sense. I thought with how it was announced, both would play in same team. Do you all really have so many women playing cricket that it will suffice 8 teams?

There were enough to make a success of the Kia Super League with six teams and the women's county championships has more teams than the men's version - although it's not professional. Time will tell if adding two more teams (to the number in the KSL) will dilute the quality.

It's taken a pandemic for the ECB to consider the adoption of the most sensible setup for the county championship.

Also heard that the later stages of the T20 Blast will be on FTA TV. Another thing that shouldn't have required a pandemic to sort out.

Very true.
