Gave the counties too much power thats the problem.Before T20 they propped up most of the counties from tests and 1 day internationals.The 100 is fucking shit. You can shove some fancy Hacienda graphics on it but at the end of the day the ECB knew they’d fucked up not licensing 20/20 thus letting India and Australia taking it up and making it better and so we have this desperate attempt to get back in the game.

Not any more the counties dont need them.The way things are going when all if us Focs die off in about 30 yrs there will be no test cricket.
They’ve gone out their way to invent new terms for things that have always existed. So it’s fives or sets instead of overs, etc etc. All it does is put off existing (legacy) fans, but new fans still don’t have a clue what’s going on so what’s the point?!My biggest bugbear of the 100 is the “Too close to call” aspect of the review system. What’s wrong with umpire’s call?
They’re simplifying something that doesnt need to be done and anyone who doesn’t know the game doesn’t learn what it means.
Meanwhile, they‘re happy to use terms like dhoosra, wrong’un etc.
It’s cricket. It’s still good to watch, but the glitz is irrelevant to how good the game is.They’ve gone out their way to invent new terms for things that have always existed.

Even so, I’ve been surprised how little I’ve hated it, to be honest I’ve even enjoyed watching the games. Still don’t see what was wrong with t20 though. I know they don’t own the rights to it, but isn’t that the case for pretty much every sport in the world? The premier league don’t own football but still do alright out of it.
