[Mr Redknapp]

What's next, runs to be called points?

 

[C.ra.ig]

Catches to be grabs? Sorry Nasser’s already using that.

 

[Dexter]

I’ve heard as well when you run as a batsman you’ve got to shout STICK once your bat is down.

 

[C.ra.ig]

surprised they’re not going for 5s and 10s to replace 4s and 6s

 

[Silly Point]

Fours and sixes to be called hits

 

[Poolynorm]

Forego the toss of a coin and spin the bat : hill or hollow.No umpires and make it 3 LB's for each batter.Bin lids for stumps and length of bat and handle for crease.Play to go on till the lamp posts come on.Jam sandwiches to eaten on the field of play.

Desperate stuff

 

[vinegar hill]

An absolutely preposterous competition thought up by morons.

 

[WCC]

KP and Flintoff announced as part of the broadcast team

When I take into account how the way it has disfigured this domestic season, the exclusion of Durham, and now this stupidity, I genuinely hope that this competition goes the same way as that El Dorado soap opera.

 

[Sea to Shining Sea]

If anyone has ever tried explaining cricket to anyone who knows literally nowt about the game it’s entirely understandable that The Hundred is doing this. They’re after a new audience not hardy Test cricket purists.

What a ton of bullshit

You forgot "tipply runs" I suppose that would be the street version of 20/20.

Will someone just please take this concept and put it in the bin please - quickly now!

 

[Parkside]

3 blind legs instead of DRS.
Used to be several games going on at the same time in the school yard and no one seemed to get confused so run men and women's games concurrently on the same square

They do that in New Zealand - games sharing pitches!

 

[Silly Point]

Just to cheer you all up. Had an email from Yorkshire about tickets for this and whose face should be at the head of the email.
That’s right, that famous Leodensian Mr Ben Stokes

Nasser did a documentary for Sky on cricket in India where several games going on a same time-it was a massive playing area mind.

Fair enough - how long ago is it when you had to be born in Yorkshire before you could play for them?
