The Hundred

[exiledclaseboy]

Hell of a catch that from famous cricketing Welshman Jake Ball from AberMansfield.

Philistines out again tonight en :lol:

The way I look at it is, if it encourages young kids to start playing cricket then it’s a no-brainer. Look at how the England Women football team has brought some excitement to youngsters everywhere.

100%, that'll fall on deaf yrs to the Test Cricket purists on here, can't beat 5 days of Cricket mun, although England rarely last past 2,1/2 days at most :lol:

5 days sitting on their arses slurping in-between snoring :lol:

As Welsh men and women we should support anything with Welsh in front of a team, ECB has poisoned minds on here,

No.

I’ll support any Welsh man or woman in sport but this team is absolutely nothing to do with being Welsh. It’s a bunch of people playing in Cardiff and that ends any pretence of Welshness.

Right.

Cricket is a difficult sport with regards generating income. The county championship is generally loss making and it is a necessity to prop up competitions such as this with ones like the hundred.

I get it, but it’s crap. I’m finding it really difficult to engage with welsh fire, a team representing Glamorgan, Somerset and Gloucestershire that contains no welsh or indeed Glamorgan players. I wonder how Somerset and Gloucestershire fans feel about the travel and expense to watch their local team in the hundred, welsh fire.

You’ll see me at far more Glamorgan games I think it’s fair to say!

At the end of the day, it’s cricket of sorts, l get that, but ld much rather watch that that the normal shit that’s broadcast of an evening, l usual get home half 5 to 6 and it’s just warming up to the start etc and it suits me, Welsh Fire been extremely disappointing, Duckett is excellent Sodhi bowled superbly last night, he’s decent with the bat as well, can’t understand as to why he and Pretorius don’t bat up the order, both are decent hitters of the ball with their long levers, l think they should as last night they batted for at least 70 balls under a run a ball, yet Lyth came in for the chargers and was hitting boundaries from the off, ld rather see the hitters opening in this format.

I’ve just spent an hour or so watching tonight’s game. It’s entertaining enough but apart from being vaguely aware that it was at Lord’s it dawned on me that I had no idea which two “teams” were playing.

You'll love The 6IXTY on BT Sport then!
A 60 ball thrash with boundary's you'd fit on a postage stamp!

I'm watching Canada Women v Wales Women Rugby on BBC iplayer that's about to start... Cymru am byth

I saw that Sixty thing briefly the other night. I had a brief weep and then pretended it didn’t happen.

It's not cricket in my book, it's literally baseball

What the hell is the 6ixty? This is a joke right? Your winding us up yes? I am quite gullible. At 14 years old I spent 25 minutes looking for green swordfish with legs on in the freezer at my first job. B***ards!
