According to the media it's the best versus the best ..... or have they given up that line this year?
What makes me laugh is even Durham tweet .... "Graham Clark has been called up to" .....
Sounds like they want us to believe he has been called up to play international cricket.

The oval wankers have ruined Durham one day campaign and not even picked Clark.
It's a ****ing joke of a competition that needs to go bust asap for the good of English cricket.

I think that was probably more to do with the fact it was the Spirit's last wicket partnership which really changed the game and Norris was part of that.
A thriller in the men's too and an astonishing stop by Whitely to prevent a 6 in the last over.
As much as I hate the idea of The Hundred, the cricket has actually been a really high quality and very entertaining. It's doing what it was designed to do.

The hundred was designed to get more casual interest in cricket, right? From the very small bit of data i've seen on that it seems like it's not achieving that goal.

Tough to say. I have got the impression that a fair number of folk who appear to be attending the games in London, might not necessarily be the same folk who necessarily attend the blast games from the couple that I have been to. It should be said that the blast games attract a lot more tribal fans of county sides (fairly naturally), but also folk who like a good Friday night out. The Hundred is in the peak summer holiday season so is definitely more accessible to families when the won't necessarily have work/school commitments and can get back home later. Just my tuppence worth.

I would disagree with that - I think it's definitely bringing in new fans to cricket. I have friends who don't normally attend games who have gone to Hundred matches. There's been some mickey taking on the WhatsApp groups about them fitting the right demographic etc etc. But it's doing wonders for the Women's game, it's putting live cricket on free to air and it's getting a lot of kids to matches in the summer holidays.
The one thing it is most definitely doing is picking up the casual observers.....and at the moment it's not driven away the cricket obsessives either.
