‘Good luck understanding our great game’

The ECB took the game by surprise when it announced that the new city-based tournament to be launched in 2020 will be based around a 100-ball concept rather than T20. Here’s some of the early reaction

Cricket now has 5 day,4 day,3 day,2 day,50 overs,40 overs,20 overs,T10 league,Hong sixes & 100 ball comp …… Good luck understanding our great game !!!!!!! #OnOn

Might be confusing that another format has been created .. But it will be fun and entertaining I have no doubt .. 8 franchisees will be great for the game in the UK .. #100Balls

As if the general public didn’t understand cricket enough in the current formats, we go and add another one.
Not sure what’s wrong with 2020 and why we’re trying to get funky
The longer form of the game is what needs spicing up, not the shorter form ..

No one wantedT20 when it started so they had to have bouncy castles and Atomic Kitten
