Lawrence opens & Potts replaces Stokes Pope captain with Brooks vice captain"

Supposedly they will sell a part or whole interest in the various franchises to IPL clubs .... which I understand is what has happened to the 6 franchises in the S African t20 league. The idea is to have ownership in the various leagues around the world and they can sign players on full year contracts and have them play for their various clubs all year round As said the biggest interest was in London Spirit to become MUMBAI INDIANS LONDON

"Fauxstralian 3:39 Wed Aug 21 So you're saying they'll sell The Hundred to India, who will change it to T20, then rebrand it in the format they already own? Can you see why that is somewhat unlikely?"

"Coffee 3:36 Wed Aug 21 Ha! Decent recovery from that position, and we're not exactly making that look like a silly total."

Too many Cooks spoil the broth

"the only point worth making is that Matthew POTTS being ahead of Sam COOK is farcical Other than that, another feeble display by a touring side."

113/7 hope no one has tickets for Saturday....

Brutal ball that

Its not going away Understand once the current tv deal runs out 100 will become 120 & some or all will be sold to INDIANS so they have a year round circuit for their IPL players Believe the dismal London Spirit will be in demand as at Lords and will become MUMBAI INDIANS LONDON

OTB Looks like that's what Sri Lanka are doing. 41/4

My only point to make here is FUCK the fucking Hundred.

Starting a Test on a Wednesday Not the brightest idea

Sri Lanka win the toss and BAT
