The Hundred
The Hundred
Anyone watching the inaugural game tonight? I may have said it before but they needed to carve up the country into regions and name them accordingly. Manchester Originals does not make me feel represented. Looks like a good leg-up for the women's game but it doesn't feel sufficiently different from T20 as a format.

Re: The Hundred
Was just about to start a thread asking if anyone was watching/interested?
Seems to be a completely unnecessary additional competition to me.

Re: The Hundred
Given the quality of fielding I think they must be very very nervous.

Re: The Hundred
We stood and watched while other countries set up such as the IPL (India) and the Big Bash (Australia).
I don’t know why we needed to mess about though - should have kept it at t20.

Local leagues should take notice of the mid innings concert, may catch on. Worsley Cup final pilot scheme.?
Re: The Hundred
I said this on a different thread, they need to copy the IPL and make it inclusive for worldwide companies to invest and buy franchise spots. T20 cricket is entertaining, the viewing numbers on the IPL prove there's a big worldwide audience, the World Cup England won was great entertainment. Worldwide TV deals, worldwide best players and worldwide businessmen buying teams. The IPL lacks alot of the best t20 players in the world.ClaretTony wrote: ↑Wed Jul 21, 2021 7:38 pmWe stood and watched while other countries set up such as the IPL (India) and the Big Bash (Australia).

Re: The Hundred
The jury's still out here. The varifocals are struggling with the way the stats are displayed around the screen although I have had 3 glasses of wine. Mr M says it's a bit glitzy and has gone to water the garden. Not sure about the turn at half time although the younger spectators seemed to be enjoying it. We do like watching T20 though.

Intrigued to see how it plays out, hopefully it can engage a younger generation. Will be interesting to see how teams take it on and what ends up becoming a par score etc. Excellent bowling from Kate Cross so far.

Re: The Hundred
Do you remember when t20 started and they micd up players and interviewed them about tactics during the game?
They also had player profiles such as: favourite band, nickname; takeaway meal of choice etc. It is certainly taken far more seriously.
The Hundred, for me, is two things:
Too close to t20, so not necessary
And….franchised, which as a Lancashire supporter, I really do not like.
Amazing to see how the game has evolved since then.

I hope the girls 100 takes off as with the equal pay it's a chance for them to go full time and will improve massively.
I can't see the mens game taking off though as it's like watching cricket on the waltzers. I haven't a clue what's going on.

Interestingly (or not) Manchester was never hundred (unlike Salford). Apart from that, I ‘m guessing it’s a new version of cricket?

Re: The Hundred
Taken from elsewhere but really made me see it in a different light:
Lots of posts of a very negative nature about The Hundred. Well, here's a thing.... It's not really aimed at us. My two 10 year old daughters are fascinated by it, and The Hundred makes sense to them. None of the complex terms, etc. The loss of which has helped opened the sport up to them. My daughters are the next generation - and this is proving a great introduction for them. When books like The Da Vinci Code are written, or when Harry Potter films are released, they're not aimed at the litterati nor the film connoisseurs, they're almost like a gateway drug - so think of the Hundred like that; it creates an initial introduction to the game that will make them appreciate Test cricket and other formats in the future. Remember, this isn't replacing Tests or ODIs, nor even T20s, it's just a different format that is creating intrigue and interest. Just because we don't like it, and just because we feel it's the devil in disguise, it doesn't mean it's wrong or bad. The exclusivity, the words and terms we like to use which make us appear superior to others who don't understand the complexities of our game, are all things we may love, but they're also things that often stop others wanting to get involved. At the very least, give it a chance - it's cricket, but not as we know it, but it might be the cricket that safeguards the sport in the long term.

Correct. I watch Lancashire, England and if I’m home and get chance Burnley. I’ll watch world cups. Broadly, I’ve zero interest in any franchised sport. T20 had full houses often and had significant numbers of youngsters attending. An innovative rights deal and it would have been perfect.Milltown1882 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 21, 2021 9:09 pmYou can try to enjoy the cricket.

Remember these franchises are parasites, don’t have their own grounds, no academies, no community function, no player pathways…… the game doesn’t survive on parasites.

Re: The Hundred
It’s marginalised T20, sky have barely covered it this year, games played at inopportune times. Almost like they want it to fail. Odi’s are now development games only. Lower class games. From word champs to playing no odi cricket in the counties at a good level in 2 years. And the argument is it’s not doing away with odi cricket? And the championship has no rhythm, it’s now fit around this 100cmobfc wrote: ↑Wed Jul 21, 2021 9:18 pmTaken from elsewhere but really made me see it in a different light:

Nonsense? I’m sure the kids will love it when this parasitic form of the game stunts development at the opportunity to find franchise owners. Brilliant.
Gambling your established core support on a new support is a constantly failed strategy for long term growth in sports isn’t it?

With respect, we’re not heavily invested in the IPL like many of us have been growing up, watching our county. I do watch the IPL and I support Chennai Super Kings every season. They were my choice and I stick with that.
Here it’s Lancashire and only Lancashire.
Let me throw it back at you….
Football is starting a new competition next year with 6 players each from Burnley, Blackburn and Preston forming an 18 man squad for a ten match competition.
The franchised side will be named East Lancashire Spitfires
A new generation of fans are expected to really get behind the event.
Will you be rocking up in your Burnley scarf to support the ELS throughout the competition?

Watched about 10 minutes near the end, probably some of the worst fielding I have seen in the professional game. Straight forward catches dropped and throws a large distance from the stumps.

With this competition being shown on free to air as well as sky, I envisage a big uptake in interest in the sport by the younger element. Hopefully the local clubs will be able to offer the facilities to progress it. A big couple of months until the end of the season. Good luck to all.

Felt bit sorry for the women as it did highlight how poor they are at fielding ( not unlike the female keepers, just somat missing )
That said if it gets kids to the local cricket clubs it’s a good thing as teens numbers have been horribly low last 2 seasons

Does nothing for developing batting skills though.

Re: The Hundred
I have reservations about this new format, what exactly was wrong with revamping the T20 if they wanted to appeal to the younger demographic.
And it's the name changes I hate the most, yet more Americanisation slowly creeping into our sports. there's a reason CC has survived for over 130 years, it's because supporters have deep roots with their specific county whoever that might be.
Now on the plus side this new product is enabling many primetime viewers access to cricket when they might not have otherwise been afforded that opportunity, and if this alone increases crowds and participation in the coming years that can only be a good thing I suppose, but yet again it feels like sport is being dumbed down to attract the masses, and the traditional fans are being further pushed down the pecking order.
I've felt for a few years now that test cricket certainly in it's current format wouldn't survive in the next decade, and this move just further aggravates those worries I'm afraid.
