Which is clearly not going to help grow the game of cricket.

Why? I work in Market Research for a company that specialises in Gen Z (16-24 year olds) and we work with all the top international brands. I can’t stress enough how important having social media “influencers” is this day if you want to grow anything. You might scoff but nothing is sold without them and young people really really take note of them.

If you’re trying to grow them game outside of the standard cricket fan (this board) then female celebrities on telly (/ their social media) are far more useful then any current or former player.

Decent game and a great atmosphere towards the end.

Much better without all the boorish chanting throughout.

They are gunning really hard for the radio 1 crowd, Mollie, Gregg and Vick all have shows which I'm sure they'll either mention it on or people will follow them on social media due to it. Also tailenders all seem to be tweeting about it, bbc will know the demographic of the listener to that so they'll have all the data. A lot of people seem to subscribe to that podcast who don't care about cricket.

Hope it does what they want it to do but creating a whole new format that nobody plays (for beginners) seems idiotic to me.

I think it’ll replace the F15 in club cricket at some point.
 
Looked a canny game, the bits I caught in between watching the darts.

Close finish, lovely night, good atmosphere, seemed some nice families and young kids enjoying themselves on a lovely summers night, enjoying sport

What's not to like about that?

Cheers, finally clocked when they said won by 5 wickets! I'd like to think it was obvious, but when they don't cover it on the official rules, and there was talk a few weeks back of wickets being called 'outs', I was starting to wonder if there was some other strange element to it.

Did seem close in the end, the win predictor swung wildly. As others have said will be interesting to see how the men's version goes for a couple of reasons. Bloody hate the onscreen graphics mind.

Is it not partially the case of just making it 100 because the maths is way easier (making it much easier to work everything out if you don't watch cricket). Easy to work out how much time is left, how many runs you need per ball etc. ?

I’m aware of how influencers work, but how is someone who knows nothing about cricket going to sell cricket to new/prospective fans?
 
This being on the box got my younguns attention tonight. He's only 6 and been doing all stars cricket program. Will try and get him to watch some more as the tournament progresses. If I can get him interested for a few balls at a time it will do for starters. He genuinely loves knocking a ball about in the garden so hopefully this can perk his interest up a bit more
