Each to their own NFL Man.
I'd rather come off worse from a meeting with Vlad The Impaler than watch this manufactured tosh  . |

Noticed the women's game was on the BBC so watched the second half of the first innings; 57-8 off the last 65 balls. No comment.

The whole thing gets w@nkier by the year. Half the teams changing their colours is just a pain in the ar$e.
I went to the Eliminator a couple of years ago. Manchester chased down about 220 off about 80 balls. I've rarely been so bored - this is not cricket. |

Being a fan of NFL i presume you are in to all this franchise stuff.
But for most of us life long cricket fans its ...... simply not cricket  |

By:
MI London restrict the Sunrisers Leeds to 143 in the opener, bowling them in 99 balls. Its advantage MI London at the change of intervals in the opener.

On a different note: I'm curious as to how many cricket fans in the World refer to batsmen as 'batters'.Of course the PC wokers of the BBC have no doubt insisted that the commentators do so.
If the women want to call their batsmen/batswomen batters that't their choice. But calling male batsmen batters is, well, just batters! |

About as exciting as an Andy Burnham cabinet meeting elis.
Vaughan & co acting down wiv da yoof gets my goat but keeps them on the gravy train i suppose. |

By:
Early thoughts. I reckon MI London ladies might finish last on the standings. They genuinely looked horrible yesterday in the season opener. Very much felt like Sunrisers Leeds ladies were in 1st gear cruise mode.

I find the Hundred unrelatable and unwatchable. The idea of "supporting" a franchise full of mercenaries is anathema to county fans like me.
Nobody really cares who wins and i bet even most who watch it would struggle to name the previous winners. |

By:
Yes, I think players moving from team to team to team is a real weakness of the competition.

To call that a choke job from the Welsh Fire ladies in their opener vs the Southern Brave would be an understatement.
|

By:
Southern Brave W look a very strong side, on paper.

Win predictor is useless imo.

Well fair to say I didnt give the Manchester Super Giants ladies much of a chance yesterday. They bowled really well as a unit. I kind of think their team suits playing at Lords very well. They do look a team that is better in bowling , more so than in batting.

14 for 5 ! Is this serious ?
|
|
By:
Of course it's not serious TCat, it's The Hundred . 64 all out
The players spend half the time giggling, probably thinking to themselves "am i really getting paid for this ". |

But "every ball counts"...

By:
Santer is a handy bat for NZ. But he shouldnt be batting at 6 for Trent Rockets when you have players like: Overton and Gregory that can smack it.
Even Harrison showed the end there , that he can whack them. |
|
By:
lady now on bbc commentary, with 33 needed with 6 balls left , " this would be one if they had more recognised batsmen!

If Jos Buttler walked down the pitch and did a cr@p, the Sky commentators would say it's the greatest turd they've ever seen.

It would probably he his most significant contribution of the summer as well Strontium
 Thank god this awful abomination has finished and we can get back to proper cricket. The 50 over One Day Cup has been full of good cricket and yesterdays semi finals were cracking affairs with both victorious teams (Leicestershire and Middlesex) recovering from very unpromising positions to win. Both games ebbed and flowed and you simply don't get that with the pyjamafest that we've had to put up with in the height of summer. And yet the One Day Cup has hardly got a mention in the media, quite apalling |
|
By:
It wrecks the flow of the season. It's absurb that Duckett opened in the Hundred final yesterday and is expected to open the batting in a Test match on Wednesday. Similar goes for most of the England Test team.

I do love Jos Buttlers celebration, copying John Stones
