Warne and the Hundred

[Ottery]

Shane Warne named as coach of Lord’s Hundred team
• Warne to take charge of London side in new tournament
• ‘I love the concept of the pay cheque,’ says former Australia spinner

 

[Mr Redknapp]

Will give it a go but If you can't enjoy even a t20 game then cricket is not for you.

Warne in 2018:

"I'm not sure I'm a fan of 'The 100'. I think we've got three formats that work really well and you don't need to confuse spectators with any more."

.....and then he sniffs the cash

Amazing how people can abandon their principles the second there is money involved.

 

[Herberthall]

All four coaches named up to now are Australians?

Could probably build a new pavillion somewhere with the money being thrown at him.

Aye, the country with the cack t20 record are taking the coaching spots. Incredible.

Games on terrestrial*

*Even though terrestrial TV exposure has never proved to enhance the popularity of any sport. Also, it'll probably get bumped for repeats of Mastermind when it tanks in the ratings.

One of the quotes was that it’s easier to count down from 100 than from 120, and so it will be simpler for new fans to follow somehow. Surely this is countered by the dodgy 10 ball over that’s split into two 5 ball overs but only if the captain chooses for it to be. And trying to divide 5 bowlers over 17 overs

8 million people at peak times watched the ashes in 2005. More like a million now.

When champions league was on ITV had viewing figures of 9 million now 4.5 million for the final(last years final being the biggest paid tv audience ever for any sport in the UK)

But we can't go back to England internationals being on terrestrial. The 100 will probably be different story in terms of viewing figures mind

Lehman now named as leeds based coach

Lehman and Dirty Leeds Scum sounds like a match made in heaven.
