Watched a bit of the hundred on tv today - pretty decent match to choose! No idea where the northern team are supposed to represent, could have just been called purple v green for all I care.

I think they've improved the graphics from when I hated it before, but still makes me want a bag of crisps.

Home games are Headingley and there is the odd Durham player in the squad. There is another team called Manchester Originals, so I reckon you can work it out.

Cracking games, I was only listening, but 6 to win off the last ball! (From the Durham lad)

The position of some of the boundaries in the Hundred is a bit daft. Watching the ball plop into 40 yards of grass between the rope and the perimeter isn't that impressive. So much for a fair contest between bat and ball.

The UK wide cricket has been the T20 Blast. Most matches at Chester-le-Street Durham have been well worth attending.
Unfortunately, next years season ticket is 1 match less at 6 home games. The 1 rained off match means a price freeze but for 1 match less.

I refuse to watch any 'Trojan 100' games.

Is some of that because of the double headers, i.e the pull the boundaries in for the Women's game (don't forget most games are on the bigger test grounds) and don't push it back for the men's game? I haven't had the luxury of watching a whole afternoon / evening to know if the boundaries move at all.

There is also an element is they want high scoring games with lots of boundaries for t'razzmatazz like.
