BREAKING NEWS... ECB proposes new 100-ball, eight-team domestic competition - midwicket - 04-19-2018

A radical 100-balls-a-side competition is at the heart of plans to transform English domestic cricket in 2020.

The proposed format for the new eight-team tournament, devised by the England and Wales Cricket Board, would see each team face 15 six-ball overs followed by an additional 10 deliveries.

It has the unanimous support of the new competition's board and was presented to Chairmen and Chief Executives of the First-Class Counties and MCC on Thursday.

So the new T20 tournament isn’t T20. It is 100 balls per team: almost 7 overs lost. A countdown ball by ball presumably. Will it attract the new audience the ECB is seeking?

Today the ECB told all England the rest of the cricket world that 100 is a simpler number than 120. Suits are shits. They just are.

May I remind you folks that Inaugural World Cup 1975 was 60 overs
repeated in 1979
and in 1983.

THEN reduced by 10 overs or 60 balls to : 50 overs.
which is now the standard ODI !

One interesting aspect of the new 100/100 proposal that I hadn’t considered is that it will have no context with anything played anywhere else. No stats or records to compare with or to beat. And no sign, now at least, that anyone else will adopt this format to give it context.
