The Hundred 2025

Agree re accessibility compared to localised test cricket, though that argument doesn’t stand up against T20 being played in the Blast at all counties.

Re: Mrs and child getting into cricket as a result of the hundred - how has the translation to different formats been when they have to unlearn everything due to different scoring and overs etc?

I know plenty of amateur players who have played cricket for years despise having to play the hundred format in local competitions having played traditional 6 ball overs, alternating ends and even 20 over (was long a thing midweek before it became TV monetised competition) - interesting to know if it is easier to convert understanding coming into the sport from the Hundred side.

The evening cricket I played was a mix of six and eight ball depending on which league. With bowling restrictions that varied by competition as well. I’d be doing one on a Tuesday and one on a Wednesday. Can’t say it was remotely difficult. Unless modern recreational players are a bit thick I don’t see a problem.

yeah they can look a bit silly, went to Headingley a couple of years back and they looked ridiculous they were that war in, Dottin and Wolvartt made it more ridiculous by hitting it into the stands anyway
 
I've ignored T100 for the last 2 years but I think I'm going to give it a chance again, if only to fill in the gap between the Test series finishing and the start of the football season.
