The ECB’s Bet On The Hundred Smacks Of Jealousy

There’s a new bet on sports in the UK available. Annoyed at India popularizing T20, and unable to admit it, the ECB launched “The Hundred”. A game of 100 balls. Supposedly, this would give it a unique character, but it simply smacks of desperation to differ. No one has greeted the new format with much real enthusiasm. Sure, it puts the Men’s and Women’s game on an equal pitch, and that’s to be lauded, but don’t bet on the Hundred winning hearts and minds amongst fans.
