I don't understand what people aren't getting. It's 20 less balls per innings to (theoretically) get a match done inside 2.5 hours per the wishes of broadcasters--no trivial matter given that revenue and exposure from TV is crucial to keep growing the game.
The last part was so they could get the game in within 2.5hrs for the BBC which T20 cant do but they've been going over that so far anyway.As a wild insomniac, my standards for sport I’ll watch overnight are pretty low - especially as it comes to cricket.
I just don’t understand the point of this though. It changes too much of what we know about cricket for no reason other than gimmickry, and I don’t understand the creation of the game in the first place given the success of T20.
Ha. I think some of my high school games were 12 overs each.Not sure I have the attention span to watch 100 balls per innings. Maybe we could reduce it to something manageable, like say 4 overs a side with a hit-off at the end if the scores are drawn?
Gee, that's great, buddy. Lynn is already out for 2Chris Lynn and D'arcy Short are playing tonight. Tell all ya friends

Why wait, they should kill it off now.The Hundred will be dead in a few years
I agree with you thereWhy wait, they should kill it off now.
Can only hope but ECB have bet the house on it so they’ll give it every chance to prosper.The Hundred will be dead in a few years
Just heard that Shane Warne tested positive to covid19 - currently broadcasting The Hundred over there.
One would think that's what they've done, going off the contempt it's attracted by those who haven't bothered to watch much or any of the games so far.Think the whole concept is silly, but would be kind of cool if they enforced that each bowler could only bowl one 10 ball over. Teams then need to pick 10 players who can bowl (plus a keeper), increasing the value of allrounders and meaning there is a bowling order as much as a batting order.
That would give the format a meaningful distinction from T20. You have bunny batters so why not also have bunny bowlers?
