English Cricket Bowled Over With £400m Private Equity Bid For The Hundred

A lot of concerns on other social media about what they would want for their 75%.

They could insist on our international players being available. They may want to just play the games at Lord's and the Oval. They may want more franchise teams expanding the tournament sneezing the county games even more to the margins. They would also get a chunk of the Sky TV deal.

Given that the next Sky deal is worth £880 million for all international and domestic cricket, this £400 mill offer seems peanuts.

The ECB are right to turn it down.

As I say despite my posts I’m dead against the 100 but what I would say is if 400 million came in then Durham and Cumbria would get a franchise along with south west

Not saying I’d go mind
