Relaunch ?
« on: November 21, 2023, 08:15:01 AM »
 The Hundred is set to expand to 10 teams, with the other eight counties offered the chance to form a second division and the theoretical possibility of promotion, as part of a £1bn relaunch of the competition.

We have got to stop this. The ECB is out of control.

I did call it...

And we'll be left out in the cold with our dumpy relic of a ground. Only got ourselves to blame though.

This sounds like a worrying development should it happen:

"Under new plans being thrashed out, the eight host clubs will be given a 50 per cent equity stake in their franchise, handing them a golden windfall that threatens to increase the gap between the Test grounds and smaller clubs. They will be able to raise revenue by selling their shares to private investors if they wish. If the ECB’s sells its equity, the money will be spread across the whole game."

Hants in talks to be bought by the Delhi Capital owners. County Cricket is dead. Their only interest will be their franchises
