The Hundred 2022 Match Thread

Voice of fair play said:
I am talking about a fan like me who has no association with a certain team and like to watch cricket,

I really really enjoy watching the blast and the IPL as really enjoy short format cricket.

So if I likes watching them then of course I am going to like watching something more or less the same.

That’s perfectly fair however you must also be aware of whats happened to the fixture Calender by adding this competition?

that’s why so many don’t like it. Nothing on show tonight , could have been in the county t20. Nothing.

I think that's what annoys me the most about it. It's the hyperbole in the broadcast when it's no different to what we already have. Talking about how exciting this innings is when they are going at a run a ball is just bollocks.

'You've never seen anything like this before' is how they market it. Well we have done, it's no different to a format we've had for years. All you've done is change it from 6 to 5 balls an end and put some hideous, garish graphics on the screen and ostracise some traditional cricketing areas.

Yeah totally agree it’s not much different from T20.

Therefore logic to me means if you like T20 and you a netrual you will like this as well.

Yeah I agree it’s a question of balance.

There should only be one short format competition in the calendar.

Two is too much and squeezes the calendar too much.

My point been though is it’s roughly the same and the entertainment and skill level is roughly the same.

People can’t one is better standard when it’s the same players!!

Not a fan for me it’s ruined the season with the gap in it,

Northern brave isn’t really northern brave it’s Yorkshire with a different name I know it had some of our players but they don’t represent the north east or the north west or the borders in reality
 
Vince is highly thought of in the big bash and of course helped to win our t20

so of course he has no chance of playing in the current well performing England t20 team

maybe it’s nerves at England level

Whether you like it or lot it’s the better 50% of players from the T20 Blast, so over a season the standard will be half a notch higher. Anyone thinking otherwise is kidding themselves.

Welsh Fire have been crap but counties will have various crap days in the Blast too. It’s cricket.

That’s just correct and common sense.

looking at the players signed up this 100 thing is very much half arsed, very few star players and the two main stars pulled out. likewise the T20 blast is very much half arsed as well in terms of starts competing. It doesn't need both, they could have easily promoted the T20 more. My opinion is they have created a needless competition which is very much half arsed & is losing it's star players before a ball is bowled to the detriment of the T20, county cricket and also the One Day Cup. It's just one massive fuck up. It's all very basic/average at a ridiculous cost.

Yeah what’s happened is that we now have two competitions played by the same or roughy the same players meaning we now have to two squeezed into a already tight schedule.

One short format competition with the best players available is what is needed.
