Despite all the hyperbole, bright colours, questionable sponsorship and "unique" coverage it still felt and looked like a game of cricket with the rules slightly tweaked and from that point of view I'm not sure how many people it will convert who don't already watch the game.Misanthropic old curmudgeons like me are catered for by the County Game and test cricket, young excitable bucks will watch 20/20 and to a lesser degree 50 over games. Where this new audience is, I don't know.
Maybe me but the Bears seem to use a massive amount of players in a season. Then a new crop for the next season. Appreciate several formats of the game in this day and age, but not a fan of this high turnover.
Does “The Hundred” refer to the number of commentators?
Just tuned in. Dreadful graphics, taking up far too much of the screen.
In five formats' time, there will be something called "The Zero" where the crowd just sit in the stands looking at an empty cricket pitch and making a beer snake.
