Do wickets and runs count towards their career totals and if anyone gets a 100 or five-fer at lords does it go on the board?0

Yes, they count towards their Hundred career stats.suzisausage said:Do wickets and runs count towards their career totals and if anyone gets a 100 or five-fer at lords does it go on the board?
No, they don't go on the boards.0 -
Kent bowler taking wickets at The Oval, same old, same old5

Cricket is changing.Who cares.I do.It’s taking a centuries old game and making it “relevant “.Why?Cricket has never been the main game in my lifetime. It has T20, County Games, 50 over games, Test Matches.It needs another variation, really. If you don’t get cricket with all that you never will.
Unless it’s 1 over cricket.0 -

The old football cliché of sitting in front of a novice who continually asks the group they're with what colour shirts 'their team' is wearing.
I should imagine 95% of the Oval crowd are asking that tonight!
Non allegiance sport is the worst type of sport imo.
Good excuse for a piss up this and that's about it.4 -

I happily & proudly say that it was a 50/50 split when I took the work group to the Oval of those who loved cricket & those who had never watched it & only came along for the craic.
Of those 50% who hadn’t been before, I regularly get updates from them now attending cricket grounds across the country.
My bestie being one of them.
Shes a huge Glamorgan fan now.

I'm just treating it like watching any of these franchise tournaments , it's decent entertainment with some of the players on show. Don't really have an allegence to any of the teams .1

We had the same hype during the World Cup during the games played at Wembley and Hampden about the "amazing atmosphere"0

I find it very easy to believe someone being introduced to cricket by going to the Oval very quickly becoming a Glamorgan fan.KBslittlesis said:

Terrible and completely unnecessary format - lots of bright colours and info (which people can work out themselves). Manufactured teams with no real substance or fanbase. A cynical take on sport for £££££
And what effect is this having on County sides and other competitions? Having just watched what was essentially Kent B taken apart by Durham B it seems big.
I don’t begrudge the players the money but to schedule this over the top of other formats and internationals is just madness and will impact and erode the game - Hope that it folds but judging by the crowds it won’t
Oh and bring back the Sunday league! At least working people could attend - to say I felt young today says it all about who can actually attend midweek fixtures.
Can we have “the 15” in football ⚽️? Two 15 min half’s with a golden goal ? Possibly too long? Maybe “the ten”?

Is the green and pink the same for every game? Makes it slightly confusing when one team's graphics are then green based on their kit?
So Buttler and Munro are listed in green bit the bowling side are in green etc.0 -
Have you seen the Hundred?addick1956 said:
What is a Gammon ? Why not say what you mean..before say anything I an not keen on this Hundred, especially as Phil Tufnell was trying to push it as wonderful without seeing it.SporadicAddick said:
A crowd full of sunburnt Gammons - exactly what The Hundred is rightly there to crush. No sport worth its salt values or needs legacy fans.Cafc43v3r said:This 50 over nonsense will never catch on....0 - Sponsored links:

Not really thought about this new competition & was against it originally. Just put on BBC2 & trying to get my head around it all.
How many balls in an over.... .10 ? If so, wont the bowler get "over bowled" ??
Also I see there is still a power play - but for 25 balls rather than 30 in a T20 match. Not much difference really is there?
Not too bothered about the graphics - one thing at least they are bold & colourful and easy to read.
Cant see why the ECB bothered really. If you are going to change something at least make some major changes. I remember when T20 was first mooted & they were talking about having the batting side face just 10 overs, then change over & the bowling side go in for 10, then swap again etc etc.

I have watched most, not all, of both games so far and I have no idea why a completely new format was needed.
The good bits are just good cricket and the bad bits are the format.3 -
Having not been watching from the start in also not sure if "Wkts" on the right means they are 4 down or 6 down?0
-
Watched up to when Billings fell over and was given out for some reason and reviewed.It just seemed like a T20 to me. I don’t think there is enough separation between the two formats.0

Player cams are decent.0

The runs needed and balls left graphic works much better in the second innings.0

Exactly.MrOneLung said:Watched up to when Billings fell over and was given out for some reason and reviewed.It just seemed like a T20 to me. I don’t think there is enough separation between the two formats.
20 overs of 5 balls or 20 overs of 6 balls. Seems like the change was done just to help those whose maths isnt too bright.
