Description

Oh yeah! The Hundred is underway and we have plenty of questions. Cricket is still good, but is it good enough to merit decimating the county game? Broadcasters are trying their best to sell the competition, but has does their blind passion rival Soviet-style propaganda? The women's game is gaining exposure, so why are its highlight packages so much shorter? Do double-headers work? Will our brains ever get used to multiples of five?


Join Kit and Matt as they sift through the biggest talking points from week one of The Hundred, as English cricket begins its venture into the great unknown.
