Dear me what a steaming pile of shit

[Hyltons finest]

Fuck me man. Utter garbage.

Is the idea of these formats to introduce young people to the game? If so this completely destroys the purpose as this is not cricket

 

[bumble2]

Ugh! Revolting!

 

[dixonsafc]

It'll be f***ing 6 balls an innings soon.

Played it years back.Under the street lights,tippley go,bin lid as stumps, probably 15 aside,six and out if lands in back yards, Woolies bat ,flea bitten tennis ball,3 lbw's and out ,spin the bat hill or hollow instead of tossing the h'penny.no over rates as bowlers often sneaked in an extra couple of deliveries.Games sometimes went into another day if it was past bedtime .Only obstacles were a few parked cars.No ECB rules just common sense colliery houses regulations

The six ixty?

I’m hoping someone like Dom Sibley goes the other way and introduces a twenty day test match with four innings per team.

 

[Struts]

Sounds fuckin daft but at least they haven’t gambled five years of revenue on it.

 

[Redandwhitedust]

I don't get the need for this. The Test Match, One Day Game and 20/20 is just fine.

Each takes the game of cricket and amends it just enough to change it for a different audience and entertainment.

I'm not sure what the Hundred or this 6ixty bollocks will achieve. We have 3 good formats we could tweak if needed? Each new format reduces the audience for the others.

At what point in this desperate scrabble to sell off cricket for cash will someone stand up to how embarrassing this all is?

 

[JL1985]

I just saw it advertised and knew there would be an angry thread on here. It looks a bit shit.

Wouldn't put 3 £20 notes on it

Natural progression from the 16.4.

6TEEN.4

Just T10 innit, with a few more gimmicks.

As was predicted by everyone, you dumb down the format to such an extent then you need to keep reinventing the game with stupid gimmicks. I predicted some targets so that you can score more than 6, still convinced it will happen sooner rather than later.

There's a reason test cricket has survived 145 years relatively unchanged, and there's reasons T20/T16.4/T10 won't.

Funny how all of a sudden I feel like defending T20 because it's nowhere near as bad as these latest abominations.
