The Hundred - Free tickets

[HarrogateMackem]

"this is an equality and diversity PR stunt", "talking about womens rights and aspirations", "are fireworks necessary", "this is shit", "the presenter on the field got the team name wrong"

the views of my wife

On the other hand, a lass from work who is a big football fan but never watched cricket in her life is watching tonight and is very engaged judging from her texts.

That umpire is a big lass

Looking at the rules just there. Excited for someone to call a timeout like!

 

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

Sounds like you two are peas in a pod

Aye she knows her stuff

 

[Hyltons finest]

Is the batsman 50 odd?

 

[HarrogateMackem]

Cracking shot that

 

[T S Garp]

Free hit or no free hit, that is the question

So engaged she is on her phone.

Maybe stop commenting on your views of how they look and just talk about the cricket. Happens way too often on all forums.

on her phone texting you.... she sounds like she's enjoying it and is engaged

It’s pretty disappointing they’ve got Braithwaite, Vaughan and Tufnell on the commentary. They’ve never played at the top level of women’s cricket, they’re just a box ticking exercise from the woke BBC

 

[NorthCountryBoy]

I hate the scoring system like.

 

[Struts]

Everyone looks like they’re having a great time….all 800 of them!

 

[Aidan11]

28 balls gone but it feels like there's been a hundred already.

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

More I think of this, it’s great for the women’s game

won’t bother with the men’s

Don’t be f***ing dense lads, you’re better then that.

Is it any different than the standard scoring system?

As many as they’d get for a Kia game I assume.

I love the way they’ve got a win predictor calibrated on a bank of zero match data in this format.

To be fair when the men are playing there’s plenty of us on the cricket thread discussing. Because you send a message on your phone doesn’t mean you aren’t engaged

I think it is great for the womens game and it's a big step forward.

I just wish they could have pushed the womens game in a normal format, rather than this novelty bollocks. Maybe i'm a troglodyte and it'll be a huge hit, but it seems more complicated and unnecessary than the 20 over format.
