I too have heard all the comments by Willis, Vaughan,Trott et al. All of them criticised scheduling but none have explicitly condemned the 100, its concept or its introduction, partly because Willis ( who is never wrong!!) has for years wanted to reduce the number of counties to 8 -10 at a push- and Vaughan, Swann and others agree. The City franchises are of course a potential way of creating this by the back door. What's more falling out with the ECB is never a good idea for those commenting on the sport. They know where their bread is buttered.
