The Hundred - Free tickets

[Arkle]

I've turned off after 30 seconds those graphics.

What the actual fuck.

They're clearly the official graphics of the competition, same on both Sky and BBC.

 

[NorthCountryBoy]

Anyone got a clue what is going on ?

I’m getting used to it.

Can’t help thinking they should have started with a men’s game with a crowd and noise as this feels weak.

 

[Pepe]

Good for women to have exposure.

Graphics are horrendous on the screen

Have watched a couple of overs or whatever they are, that will be it I reckon. Will tune into the men version tomorrow, probably for similar.

edit: didn’t realise is was being simulcast in BBC, will watch a bit more just to fill the Vaughan hateometer.

Is 65mph classed as fast medium in women's cricket ? Don't think i've seen many go over 70mph in the games i've watched.

Didn't realise it was on the beeb until I've just done a bit of channel hopping. Certainly enough adverts to know its on Sky and I don't have a Sky Sports subscription.

Yeah hence my point.

Having them going up the side of the screen is jarring.

Not even the same height. As I've turned on later I assumed they got bigger as the runs and balls went up. But doesn't appear that way.

Vaughan was trying to claim 10,000 spectators. Not a f***ing chance

I'd assumed that with regard to the height of the graphics also.

f***ing hell Dinesh Karthik on Sky really is the company man, you'd think this was the greatest moment in modern sport the way he's going on.

 

[Dexter]

Definite missed opportunity to not have the strategic time outs sponsored. Just wouldn’t be the same if the IPL didn’t have a CEAT TYRES strategic time out every six seconds.

Looks like it's going to take 75 minutes to bowl these 100 balls. The same length as a domestic T20 innings.

T20 doesn't involve the search for Greg James, a time out and an interview with a kid who plays cricket but doesn't know who for.

 

[Marko]

136 to win. Imagine the extra runs you'd get to see with another 3.2 overs

 

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

Nicked off a FB group "This new format has taken 72 minutes to complete an innings. That's just 3 minutes shorter than a domestic T20 innings. I thought this was supposed to be quicker."

Becky Hill looked nice sang well and had on a nice dress

 

[SpiritofBurnden]

Interviewer: What have you enjoyed about the cricket?

Spectator: The fireworks.

The ECB could have just saved their money and put on a fireworks display.

I'm giving it a season before it dies a death.

 

[Arkle]

An explainer?

 

[Aidan11]

Now they're doing the scores in reverse. Put this shite on CBeebies.

 

[SpiritofBurnden]

How can we attract more people to cricket?

Take the shortest format of the game and reduce it by 20 balls because it's those extra 20 balls that are putting people off the game.

It's almost as bad as one of Platini's ideas for football.

 

[Arkle]

Worst scoop shot ever!
