Wickets to be renamed 'outs' for The Hundred

[Twisted]

Its what franchise cricket is all about. I still can't quite believe anyone is in denial about what the purpose of the 16.4 is, but there you go.

I watched about 2 hours total of the last IPL across about 6 games and for most of that, the Kiwi commentator was trying to sell me a really shit hatchback. I just can't be doing with it.

i tried watching the ipl when it first came on think i saw about three balls, someone tried to bash the leather off the ball so hard they ended up spinning round in a few cricles after missing and falling on their arse. immdiately decided it wasn't for me and haven't watched it since

I enjoyed the IPL when it was on in the UAE last year but taking nearly 2 hours to finish an innings took the piss.

Michael Holding has the right idea about the IPL.

Cricket’s problem since 2005 has been focusing on its existing aging market rather than trying to attract a new one.

The same ageing fans also like how porn is, but I don't think putting it into 976 gender catagories would attract a new generation...they have better things to do, that goes for cricket too

I presume I wasn't the only one that saw that each franchise will have their own DJ?

Just had an advert there for the champions League final.

Wonder how much that cost the ECB

Also had a fake social media post with millions of likes.

Be why they only have 19k followers on Facebook and 9k on twitter

On the twelfth of never, as far as I'm concerned.

How's about that then?

 

[Eggman]

What if the opposition are 50 runs ahead with 4 balls to go, after hitting 4 12's in their last over? It's over.

What a fuckwit benefit

Not if they introduce a 'joker ball' meaning they get double of whatever they score, so a 12 could be a 24 ....... fuck me

Well, I've got tickets for two of the matches and I'm looking forward to it. I don't care how gimmicky it is, it's still a chance to watch some live sport for the first time in nearly 18 months.
