The Hundred - Free tickets

Think the success will depend on whether other countries follow suit and the game becomes recognised in international cricket. If it doesn't and it's just some random variant, it'll end up being the T20 viewers watching it, minus those boycotting.

Aye this I think. It may well follow the same trajectory as the Aussie Big Bash. That got really big for a couple of years then slowly reverted to just another spectator sports competition in a saturated market and attendances dropped away

That suffers from having no Aussie international players in it and far far too many teams, so nobody knows what’s going on.

To build a successful franchise they need to have the best of the best in your league.

I also would like to see players stick to a single team. It would be interesting to see players only be allowed to be drafted once. Then teams would have to trade/ buy players from other teams. That adds drama imo.

Not too dissimilar then. 8 teams in the hundred, same as the big bash, and most of the England players off to the Test side now

Wouldn’t say the BBL has too many teams. 1 in each big city then 2 in Sydney and Melbourne. Works perfectly!
 
Stokes coming in for some deserved criticism for his captaincy last night. In addition to fiercely insisting a single was rebowled (which was promptly plastered for six) why didn't he bowl out the spinners given they were having much more success than his seamers and Hales is weak to spin?

Can't blame him for re-bowling that ball.

Interest did wane from its heyday but average attendances are still around 20k per game, paying customers.
