The 100 is fucking garbage. Not even a proper county or any other structure where you can get behind a team - Lancashire yes, Manchester originals - who? It’s just a shit IPL, we already have the T20 blast. England in this tournament is like watching a disaster movie - no plot but you have to watch it to see how bad it gets

I agree, and just reinforced the 'big ground' counties who benefitted most.

I thought I'd seen that plans to extend it to 16 teams were planned - which is even more pointless!
 
When you are low on confidence, going even harder means you either make 500 or 150.

We were always going to have this drop off when we started Bazball. Being ultra aggressive creates awesome victories and awful losses.
 
I am just reminiscing here, but I am an FOC so that’s allowed. As a kid I used to love one day cricket in England. You had the John Player Sunday league where every team played every other team over the season, 40 overs a side. Then you had the 2 knock out trophies, the B&H cup (55 overs) and the Gillette/Nat west trophy (60 overs) proper knock out trophies with atmosphere, 30k crowds in quarters and semis at Lancs. No what is there? Nothing that captures my imagination, certainly not the multi coloured soulless 100

The 100 is baffling, who thought it up and why - utterly pointless competition.
