The Hundred

Just noticed the eerie zombie-lite crowd that has been standing behind all along. I take back what I said about the production values.

When are they going to talk to all these excited fans in the audience?

Manchester Originals could be in some trouble at the top of the order, I don’t see any powerplay batsman in there.

Buttler is probably one of the best T20 openers in the world at the moment.

EDIT - just noticed that Salt is in there too. Another exciting prospect.[DOUBLEPOST=1571601134][/DOUBLEPOST]

Although Buttler will potentially play only one or two games.

That sounds a bit stupid. I can’t understand boards spending so much resources on these leagues only to create conflicting schedules (looking at you, BBL). The ECB is already lucky that other international sides don’t have a busier schedule during their window.

Had it not been for Indian players playing every iteration of the early IPLs, I doubt it would have been this successful.

So the thinking of three overseas players per squad must have been to prevent teams having 2/3 of the squad being overseas or kolpak players.

The only bit of The Hundred that interested me is over and it was boring.

I have no idea why this is ever a thing: it is just mesmerizingly artificial. Goodby cricket.

100 Balls means 16.4 overs. How can 16.4 overs even count as a format?

15 normal overs make up 90 deliveries, last over consists of 10 deliveries

This would've been a twenty-over game if all overs were five deliveries each, making up hundred deliveries in total.

I believe they can bowl ten delivery overs at any time. Bowlers just have a 20 ball limit.

Apologies, the format i posted was the original one announced in 2018, i guess they changed it.

That ain't an official rule^, I'm just saying what it could've possibly been. A slightly simpler(?) format.

EDIT: Not that I know of, at least.

I think they did after the trial matches.
