The cash strapped ECB are wasting even more money by doubling the salaries of the players for the hundred. A desperate attempt to tempt some star names to prop up their abysmal competition.

yep they'll throw the kitchen sink at it. We need to stand firm and continue to boycott it. All of it.

Well, we didn't take any notice of it last year.  We didn't see any, either live or on TV, or even bother with the scores, and intend to do the same in 2022.

Even one of it's arch supporters, Eoin Morgan, recently said T10 is the future. When will the ECB realise no one wants another format? If it was so good, it would have been copied elsewhere by now.

T10 unlike the Hundred is a recognised format.

10 overs is what was played from the start of One Day Cricket to resolve a weather affected game.

Mrs SLU and I watched it. That’s what (almost) lockdown does for you!
Then we watched the t20 World Cup. Give me the latter any day.
