For extra shittness I wish they'd gone one further and merged both ideas. Like Japanese rugby teams. So like Skips Trent Rockets being an official name and Hula Hoops Welsh Fire, Butterkist Birmingham Phoenix and so on.
Silebyfox_89 Posted 5 October 2019 Posted 5 October 2019 The Hundred looks like the biggest cricketing joke since the Stanford super series (had to google it to remember!), surely the simplest way to increase the revenue for the ECB and exposure for cricket would be to renegotiate the contract for the T20? We could easily give the pomp it needs with a player draft, games free to air TV and keep it all within the current schedules of the county game. i guess it won't change due to SKY's stranglehold on the game which is a shame
StanSP Posted 6 October 2019 Author Posted 6 October 2019 I know SA never beat us in India and we're quite strong at home but even I was quite surprised with the following stat. Rohit Sharma breaks record for most sixes in a test match (13) and also now has the record for two centuries in his maiden test match as an opener.

Corky Posted 7 October 2019 Posted 7 October 2019 It's a very well paid but extremely demanding job too. Silverwood does have good experience with Essex so he's not a novice or someone without success domestically. I really think the idea of having red and white ball coaches is a way forward.
Voll Blau Posted 8 October 2019 Posted 8 October 2019 Notts charging £70 a day for the Pakistan Test and £45 for an ODI against Ireland next year.

Corky Posted 20 October 2019 Posted 20 October 2019 Hopefully not. Disgraceful how the ECB allow the England players to play in this but barely play for their counties.

LCFC BEAST Posted 20 October 2019 Posted 20 October 2019 Hate the idea of The Hundred, but quite enjoy the draft phase. Would have preferred a full draft style system implemented in to the Vitality Blast.
SouthStandUpperTier Posted 20 October 2019 Posted 20 October 2019 With the first pick of the 2019 ECB Draft, the Nottingham Jebends select...Troy Kapowski, Quarterback, out of Notre Dame University.

The glam of the draft and exposure to terrestrial TV would have done wonders for the current T20 which is already booming again. A real shame and opportunity missed!
Guest Manini Posted 20 October 2019 Posted 20 October 2019 It was quite exciting to begin with, getting a bit drawn out now. **** getting behind anything associated with Nottingham, so I’m backing the Northern team. Good team so far.

Good team so far. Yeah it's dragging a bit now, may switch off as getting fairly bored minus the funny comments
Guest Manini Posted 20 October 2019 Posted 20 October 2019 @UniFox21 The players still have to commit to their respective nations if they’re under contract with them and involved in any of the tours etc. If their country are on tour/playing a test match, they will play in that, they won’t be able to choose to defer and play for their Hundred franchise - I think
UniFox21 Posted 20 October 2019 Posted 20 October 2019 What's the point having the mens draft going on in the background whilst discussing women's cricket? Surely it would be better to have it in two segments and focusing on each rather than overlapping them?

I like Womens cricket,but the "draft" took Too long,lost my interest when they pulled in the Womens (100) cricket panel.... Market it,bring it on,sell it by all means!!! ,but such TV-oversell just draws it out for too long..!!
Lionator Posted 20 October 2019 Posted 20 October 2019 Not a single player from Leics or Derby in the 'Trent' team which is packed with average Notts players. Shock.
