We will end up with T10 soon. That is another reason why the hundred is such rubbish. It is out of date even before it has started.

T10 will be good to have as a warm up for t20 matches: for youth matches or women's matches in order to generate interest for those categories. My thinking is that most sports revolve around 2 hours duration - t10 is too short unless you have multiple matches.

There's already a T10 competition - Dan Lawrence is playing in one of the teams.

He is

I watched a couple of the games. He is playing for Deccan Gladiators. I saw their first game but he did not bat. Made 15 not out off 8 balls in the second game to steer them to a win.

It was quite watchable.

ETA. Not so listenable to, though.

Danny Morrison is not my favourite commentator. I guess his broadcasting "style" fits with the faster forms of the game.

If I remember rightly David East once said he would 5 over a side cricket if it made money. Truly a man of vision!

Indeed. 5/5 vision rather than 20/20 vision.
