What on Earth have I just watched?


I can see a lot of these rebrands blowing up in their faces, especially in Manchester where they never got great crowds as the Originals.
 
What did everyone expect?

The format was invented with the sole purpose of making big money. Only India and Saudi were the only ones who would be prepared to make that level of investment. Now watch it become a cancer that will slowly destroy the game of cricket as we know it.
 
No secret on here that ive been a fan of the hundred, but these name changes have really soured my view on the whole thing, I suspended my disbelief and bought into "Northern" superchargers having a bit of Durham in it, Even the playing squad one year outnumbered Yorkshire players, i bought the tickets and the merch and travelled to the games, so to now be Sunrisers LEEDS really alienates me,

But Dear me these designs and names, it seems the indians have no grasp on branding & marketing at all,

i thought the Kits, badges and names were bad to start with, Manchester Originals were the best of a bad bunch, at least they included a bee and a honeycomb on their kits for a bit of local identity,

Ill ask the bairn if shes bothered about going this year, we were using the comp as a cheaper way of ticking off the test grounds, might give it a couple of years and see if we get a team up here
