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 !

How about 6 balls a game
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

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.

The ECB are not interested in what cricket fans want because they are after new fans, purely theoretical fans who are both young and somehow laden with cash while also being madly in love with round numbers

Perhaps the most perplexing aspect of AT&T Stadium, otherwise known as “Jerry World,” is the glare from the sun that bursts through the windows and shines directly onto the field. Time and time again the glare has impacted players’ visibility during games, yet Jerry Jones refuses to make any changes to account for the sun.

Rather than install curtains, Jones has previously said he feels it’s a home-field advantage to have that type of stadium factor impacting games. Well, the glare ended up benefitting the Chiefs early into Thursday’s Thanksgiving game, as a pass from Dak Prescott to George Pickens fell incomplete, at least in part due to the impact of the sun’s glare.

SerenaThis batting performance by the West Indies in the second innings blew me away. I kept closing my eyes and then rubbing and opening them again and sat transfixed as I watch that unbelievable partnership between John Campbell and Shai Hope. What a magnificent performance by these two! It just goes to show that patience, determination and effort can go a long way to improve the performances of the West Indies team. Let us hope that this effort by West Indies batsmen would not be a one-off performance, but will be the beginning of a renewed effort to improve the performances of the team, going forward.(13.10.2025, 09:28)(09:28)0

WarrenJameis Winston is asked about being named QB3 on the Giants' roster behind Russell Wilson and Jaxson Dart:

"As a competitor, you want to be the starter. But I prepare to be the starter, I know I'm a starter in this league.

But you have to be able to be grateful for your role...my role right now is to assist Russ and Jaxson to be the best that they can be while preparing to be the best that I can be.

No matter if I'm 3, 33, this is my first year being number 19, so it's always a first for everything.

I focus on what I would love. And what I would love is for this team to have success."		(13.09.2025, 10:58)(10:58)0
