Presumably a contractual obligation.

Overall, it has been an OK first year given the uncertainties of the pandemic and the general antipathy to the new format from many. Just a few tweaks required for next time both for the TV viewer and the spectators.

It's the least equal contest between bat and ball I've ever seen. Everything about it has been dreadful. Even the trophy is absolutely shite.
 
Was disappointing imo, the stars that play in the IPL did not make it for whatever reason, hopefully as the tournament develops every year them players will be here

Not sure what's worse propaganda to try and get people to like it, or people who had made up their mind to dislike it before watching it?

Some people have wanted this to fail for the wrong reasons
i am against 100 format should have been franchise t20, with games shared around eg north playing at Leeds and durham
however to blame test form on this tournament is ridiculous, test team has been in decline for a number of years, think we are going through a trough of talent (all nations do this at some time), we need to look at timings of white ball cricket etc could royal London be in September (floodlit and normally dry) allowing red ball to continue in summer months.

You sure about that?

“Between June 6 and August 30 - so, in essence, summer - the domestic cricket schedule has had room for six days with the red ball.”

Sort of contradict yourself. 🤷‍♂️

How is the latter 'propaganda'?

Kim Jong Il would be proud of the coverage.

It isn’t. I’ve made the point a few times that I actually think some of the propaganda with the 16.4 would make Kim Jong Il blush. I think even he would feel like it was a step too far.

Not at all the current demise of test cricket nothing to do with 100, could be the focus on winning World Cup mind. Therefore I dont contradict myself as my second comment is about balance between white ball and red ball and nothing to do with 100.
i know you hate ecb for what they did to durham(and hard to disagree) but like I say the 100 has nothing to do with lack of a quality spinner, lack of any top 3 batsmen and poor captaincy of root. Years of red ball neglect however does and the riches available worldwide for players to be better at white ball than red ball
